Macbook Pro 13"

[Bluevitz-rs]

I just picked up a 13" Macbook Air - 256GB SSD, 4Gig Ram, 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo. It's replacing my aging PowerBook G4 12". < it was the top model when I got it at the end of the the product life cycle but it's been struggling to run youtube vids, so it was due for replacement.

I can tell you one thing, get the SSD hard drive or put one in. It night and day faster than a conventional HDD. I also have a late 2008 Mac Pro and this thing is zippier for everyday stuff. Everything loads instantly when you click on it, it's insane.

Things to consider, how often do you use removable media?
How do you intend to use the MBP? General web stuff, the ocational photo or video edit? Because the weight of the Air and the battery life are superior. Or if you wait a bit if you're buying new (I got this used for a steal) wait a bit and the new Air might be out in a month when the new OSX comes out in a couple of weeks. It should have a "i" series processor and thunderbolt.

You should have waited another week or so when they will be releasing the updated models along side OS X Lion...
