Ok, here we go with my rant. Why in the world doesn't apple let the 11 in users get these? (256 gb, 2.1 ghz processor)? I just don't understand. It drives me up the wall because that's what I would gladly go for with the 11 inch. Rant over, sorry. Tyler On 2011-03-07, at 6:57 PM, Eric Brinkman

I have the 13-inch Air with a 256 gig flash drive, four gigs of ram and a 2.13 GHZ processor. It's my first Mac and it's very nice. I love the fact that it turns on so quickly and is very light. But if you don't care about weight, go for the pro. Eric On 3/7/11, Jim Barbour wrote: > the prima

the primary reason to go with the air is weight and size. It's a road warrier's machine. Since you say you don't care about those things, get the pro for sure! Jim On Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 05:37:29PM -0700, carolyn Haas wrote: > Hi Wes: > You sight some pretty strong reasons to go with the macbo
