So I know this has been covered in other threads but I haven't found one that specifically covers my story.
I am in the process of changing out my non-functioning Dell M1530 Laptop, and am hoping to change over to a Mac Laptop.
I am a student and I use my computer for light picture editing, the occasional movie edit, Office, Internet, Email, Internet games, and Music. I am a fairly on the go person aswell. I just wonder if i'll need the extra power provided my the macbook and macbook pro.
The configurations I was thinking about were either a macbook (after the revision) or a macbook pro (with perhaps an Ipad for the on the go stuff) or a Macbook Air (After the upcoming revision). While I like the form factor of the Air, there is something to be said about the computer you get for your money with the macbook and Pro. Also the form factor of the air is more or less defeated by all the external drives and what not that are required. This also makes it quite expensive for less of a computer than the pro. Mind you I rarely use some of the external accesories so I likely won't have to carry it all the time.
What is your opinion?
Also is it worth getting parrells for this computer if I have a fairly powerful PC desktop that functions fairly well.
Thanks for your advice.
