You wont regret it mate, I love mine already and I have only had it a day. I wish I had got one sooner tbh
Are MacBooks really that good?
I've been looking at MBA 11" and 13" for my business. Smaller the better as i need to transport it around alot
But £1000 price tag.... Is it really worth it?
P.s Ive never had a mac or any Apple stuff apart from the 1st gen Ipod lol... ive always been a Windows man so i know nothing lol
Thinking of getting an 13" Air. Can someone explain to me how I would go about installing something like Photoshop on it? I'm trying to square away in my mind that I don't actually need the disk drive that the 13" Pro offers.
I'd really like a new Pro but cant justify it when theres nothing wrong with my current 2008 Pro.
Do people think the pro will go down the same route as the Air? ie. shipped with no CD/DVD drive?
You use the external superdrive that it comes with....
No chance. The point of a pro is that it has everything. The air just removed it so it could stay slimline and light weight.
Me either. Got mine on the release day of iOS5. So hopefully it will be really soon. If they announce a new version within 28days of you buying your one they have to swap it for a new one.
Suppose that's the price you pay for keeping releases unannounced.
