Without much reason to vote, i want to point out something. Apple
announced a couple of days back that they are changing the air line.
Especially since longevity is a motivation, the macbook pro may be best?

Hello,
I've been a part of this group for some time now, and have enjoyed the
wealth of information that I've gleaned from observing. I've finally
come to the decision on switching from Windows to Mac. I'll either be
getting a MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro.
One of the big things for me, however, is virtual machines (or
bootcamp). I still want to be able to virtualize a copy of Windows in
case I have programs that will only work on the Windows side. Right
now, the main things I do on Windows are word processing, internet
browsing, Skype which would be possible on the Mac side, music and the
occasional game (mostly MUDs using a low memory client). I would like
to get a steady balance between battery power and processing power
without having to deal with busyness and lag.
I have my eye on the MacBook Air 13 inch (with both processor options)
or the MacBook Pro.
MacBook Air configuration - 13 inch (256GB SSD HD):
1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory
Or the MacBook pro (without Retina, 13 inch):
2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM -- 2x4GB
I'm really stuck at this point -- what will work the bes? It's also
sort of nerveracking putting a large amount of money into something
that's already two years old. In all, I'm looking for something that
will last, has updated hardware, and can handle an OS running
alongside the Mac environment without any hiccups. I'm on a budget of
about 1,550 dollars.
I warmly welcome any advice. And yes, I know this list is mainly for
voiceover users -- but I thought, as a visually impaired user myself,
that it would be appropriate to ask here.
Thanks in advance.
-Tristan
