I'm enjoying my new MacBook Air a LOT and am wondering what I should get to go with it.
My MacBook Air handles 90% of my tasks, the new rev b is surprisingly fast.
In addition I have an HP desktop with a 24" HP (2408) display, 11 months old. I'd consider retiring the HP desktop but I'd have to replace it with a stationery computer as I usually have torrent files etc downloading ...
The options I'm looking at are:
1. Doing nothing, using the MBA and the HP desktop as they are now.
2. MBA plus 24" ACD - I'd use the MBA for most of my work and install Windows on 20% of the drive, and HP desktop if I needed to do Windows intensive tasks, downloading etc. (I've had the ACD monitor for 7 days now, really like it, no complaints other than it will only work from my MBA.) I'm still trying to decide if I 'really' need it or if I'd be better off to buy an iMac or Mac Mini to complete the set up.
3. MBA plus iMac, I'd exchange the ACD and spend a little more money and get the new iMac. I realize it's a step down as far as displays are concerned. I'd set it up so that while at my desk I'd work off the iMac and when away from the desk I'd use the MBA, network them so they all worked together.
4. MBA plus Mac Mini
They're a great price and another desktop option although I'd have to add a monitor, could use the monitor from the HP and sell the HP tower or go all out and buy a Mac Monitor.
What would you do?
