Ciao,

a large number of reviews and contradictory information and benchmarks about the new rMB and the speed etc. I'm curious to hear which model you prefer and why :) If you chose the basic model, are you satisfied with your selection - Is the machine powerful enough? Tell me pls. :)

I'm considering buying the base model but I am afraid that it's slow or something… I do not do video editing etc. just basic things like surfing the web, emails, listen to music, running apps likes iPhoto, Word, Excel, Spotify…random image editing with Seashore or PhotoShop probably…
 
The 1.1 should be fine for the activities you mentioned. Just make sure you are using Safari over Chrome.

You can upgrade the base 1.1 to 1.3GHz at the checkout online if you are worried about performance.
