Which ones has to go - Ipad 3 or MBA 2011

Can u just sell MBA and pc then just get a little netbook for resume etc?

 

If that's the case I would sell MBA and keep iPad. If have to can always sell iPad later if have to?

Sorry man, I know it sucks. Went thru it in 2008. Good luck to u

 

ipad 3

you can do so much more with the macbook air

 

You already have a desktop, do you need a full computing on the go?

If you need to do things like play PC games, full-on word processing or spreadsheets, coding, designing or video-editing on the go - sell your iPad and keep your Macbook.

If you can do all these tasks on your desktop and want a portable consumption device - sell your Macbook and keep the iPad.

 

Tablets are pretty expendable in my book. If you need cash though I'd sell the MBA and iPad 3 and slum it with the PC. That would provide more motivation to find a job too.

 

I would sell the MBA. I prefer the iPad if I already had a PC. I like the form factor.

 

for me I would sell the MBA as you already have a desktop to use. and iPad is definitely more portable for on-the-go stuff.

 

I think it's really hard to try to justify either. The MBA and iPad are both portable devices, but they both have very different uses.

I'd say, keep whichever you use more. Also, you'll be able to get a bigger chunk of change for your MBA, if that affects your decision.

 

having both here with around the same usage....
you would probably get more $ for the mba and you can always use the ipad with the pc also you've spent some dollars on apps so while they're always in the wings it would be nice to use them
i use my mba mostly around the house and the ipad when out and about although they both travel with me

but yeah, keep the ipad and sell the mba (you can always get the latest and greatest later)

just my .02

 

You already have a desktop PC. If it was me I'd sell the MBA (it can be replaced by a very cheap netbook if you really need a portable computer) first, and if I still need money then the iPad.

Hopefully you get a job soon, goodluck.

 

I faced a simliar question just last week, the 2011 MBA was sold on Sunday. I have an iMac as the work horse, no need for duplication.

 

These were my same thoughts.

 

Craigslist is insane selling computers. I sold my Acer after buying my MBA, and even got text message scams.

A few tips:
1) Make sure to make an easy to understand title. Don't post specs that people won't understand (say dual core, not 2.4ghz). Make sure to have apple and macbook air in there.
2) Make your price 50 dollars more than you want to get. Why? Everyone is going to offer you at least 50 less than your asking price.
3) Meet in the middle, or in your city. As the seller, you do not have to travel. It sucks to drive 30 minutes to have someone decide they want to lowball you after they said they would pay full price. Gas is expensive, don't waste it.

Good luck with your sale!

 

Plus a few other tips:

Make sure they know they will have to pay in cash.

Meet in a coffee shop that is populated and where they can check out the device. No one honest wants to buy anything in a parking lot haha! Also affords safety as the seller in case they decide to jump you and take it.

 

Hey, I sold my bass to a guy in a parking lot! But, yes, meet at a starbucks or similar that has people and wifi. Cash only.

Good luck.

 

You shady bugger you!!

 

You don't NEED a air or a iPad, very few of us do, we just WANT them, get rid of both...........if you can!

 

I'd keep the iPad and sell the Air. Your PC will be able to do most everything your Air can until you get back on your feet. Someone mentioned getting a logitech keyboard for your iPad - good call.
