Chroms on the mac is quick but it takes up lods of resources so i use safari

Safari.

Safari. Since using the macbook, Safari has shown me that Mozilla have taken a few ideas for Firefox.

Used to use Firefox but since Mountain Lion I've used Safari and have it all hooked up to my iPhone and iPad.

Chrome is better tbh, I still mainly use safari but I keep chrome for a separate google account and I've decided it is better.

Well looks like I'll be investing in an Air tomorrow. I have an iPad which is great for what it is but I don't find it that easy to use as something to type replies on or have conversations on line with.

This is something I do with my work laptop but since it was updated I now have the same restrictions as I would in the office so no Skype etc and not even able to install Firefox.

So I want it for web use and probably an extension of what I do on my iMac, maybe play a few games as well. Planning on going for an 11" model with 128gb but not sure on what spec exactly. I'd like the best spec I could afford which would be an i7 with 8gb of memory but not sure how much I really need that spec. I mean my iMac is an i5 with 4gb and flies!

I got a 15" 2012 Retina Display MacBook Pro, Cost £1800 new and is about 6 months old. Still worth about £1500 now. People always say Apple stuff is so expensive, yet the hold their value so well. Would rather pay £1800 for a MacBook and £12 for Mountain Lion than go out buy a £500 laptop that is going to be outdated in 6 months and £300+ for a new Windows OS and Office.

I got the 13" with i5 and 8gb, for the price difference I would definitely upgrade if your buying.

Had a result, the Mrs is a teacher and gets a 14% discount on all Apple products.

So I got an 11" Air, i7 processor, 8gb memory and 256gb of memory. A bit higher spec than I expected but works out a similar price as the spec I was thinking anyway and should last me nicely too.

Is the MacBook Air worth it? I'm only concerned about the small memory, as my current PC laptop has a 520gb HDD.

Just looking into leasing one through apple for my business.

Depends on how much you need? If you need the 520gb you've got now then you might struggle. The MacBook Pro might be a better option? Great bit of kit though, kind of regret not getting the MPA mainly for the better screen resolution, main gripe I have with my MBP 13".
