Hey Guys I'm traveling in a few weeks to USA and I'm thinking in upgrading from mi macbook 13(Late 09). I also own a mac mini(early 09), but I want to upgrade mi laptop.
Here are the specs from the macbook 13:
- C2D 2.26 GHz
- Nvidia GeoForce 9400M
- 4GB RAM
- 250 Hard Drive
So I have two option for upgrading the mbp 13 i5 and mba 13.
If I can CTO the mba and pick it up at any retail store I would definitely go with it. But I can't.
I'm a student so I'm used to carrying tons of weight in books + my macbook as a result my back hurts, but is not a big deal.
Anyways the main use of the laptop would be developing iPhone/iPad apps, and occasionally messing up with Ps and Ai.
I have to problem deciding on getting the mba instead of the mbp.
First one is the reselling problem I want a macbook that I can resell in a near future I dont know how good is the mba air at reslling. I do know that the mbp has no problems with the reselling, but the actual mbp has an Intel HD3000 so I'm not pretty sure how that's gonna affect their reselling price.
My other big issue is the C2D in the mba. With SB outside and thunderbolt in the mbp I dont wanna see the mba outdated when OS 10.8 comes out.
So those are my issues about these great machines.
Please help me deciding which one to get!
Thanks!
