Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Problem with the Mac Mini is that they seriously undermined it when going from quad-core to dual-core. Sure, it’s still a fabbo Mac, and I bought one to run headless and could probably use it as a replacement for my desktop if the need arose, and it’s still an excellent starter Mac. But it no

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Your air will run windows under VM fusion. you have the I7 processor which will help and you could assign 2GB or less to the virtual machine and it should work fairly well. If I were to buy a new air I’d max it out not just for windows but because once you buy it it’s a fixed configuration

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

;) I’m not really in the market for a new Mac laptop, but I’m following this discussion with interest. Something y’all said that grabbed my attention, is running windows on the Air. This surprised me. What specs on an Air would you recommend to seamlessly run Windows? I have an Mid 2011

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know what I'd do if the Air and the Pro were the same price (I'm going to wait till the next gen comes out, so they probably won't be then.) I find that the Air really meets my needs just fine, so I'm not sure I'd choose the bigger, heavier Machine.

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Hi Cait, Mostly the form factor. I find the Air to be fast enough for my needs, so prefer the smaller, lighter unit. I agree about the missing control key. I also wish Mac laptop keyboards had Home and End Keys - I find those keystrokes ridiculously impossible to perform. Cheers, Donna >

Hey Scott, One caveat I would add here is that it depends on how important portability is. the Air is much nicer to carry around, especially if you're also hauling a braille display. Just something to consider. I chose the Air over the Pro for its portability, not due to cost. Cheers, Donna

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

So I’m not sure what country you’re in or store options you have, Best Buy in the US is running laptop deals right now and I think it’s $100 or more off Apple Laptops. That aside, with your requirement I’d probably go with an Apple Macbook pro and you could go with a 13 inch model to save on

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

donna, What do you like about the air over the pro?? Just wondering. I myself own a macbook air, with maxed out specs, and I love the thing! I do miss the control key on the right, though, sometimes, but none of the apple laptops have that, so I’ve just gotten used to not having it.. Cait >

Re: What shall I get? Any recommendations?

Hi Cris, the MacBook Air would be my recommendation. It's light and small, very easy to carry around. It's plenty fast for browsing the web. I've had my Air since 2013. I may replace it this year or next, but as much as anything that's because I like new toys. :) It is in no way obsolete.
