    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    I'm finding that the top/screen feels too loose for my liking. it stays up if it is nearly straight up but as soon as i tilt the keypad part up or tilt the screen back slightly the screen slides all the way back.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    I don't know how I would get windows xp from my very old desktop onto my Air. So I would have to buy a new copy of windows which from what I see is over $100 so I might not be so interested in doing this after all just for One or two programs that need windows to run them. I have a 4g ram drive...

    Finally pulled the trigger on the Samsung bluray drive. It's now $80 on amazon. I'm now thinking about adding Windows to this Air now since my old desktop is about to explode. Is it possible to use the 1tb external drive to load windows on since my air is only 128? I guess I need an...

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Glad you like it. It's been my default for over year now. I think someone over at DVDtalk posted a beta that I signed up for and they let me get the beta. Not sure about passport is that a universal password saver? Rockmelt does switch to wherever you are because you have to log into it and it...

    Ron thAt Rockmelt browser works very well for me. It is intended more for people who use twitter and FB as it fully integrates those and maybe some other social medias directlyinto o the interface of the browser.

    Yes I was right at the store buying it while you and I where trying to get me a cover for it. It's working very well so far. Still need to pick up a DVD/blu drive.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    I figured that Sam.i did like the idea of that drive sitting on a desk and not having a need to touch or movie it. After we left the apple store I found that she bought a two year extension of apple care for $200. Wow, that was a surprise.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Ron I know you need a bigger hd and I really don't. My wife will decide on the size of the air we get but we are getting the air. You guys talked me into the blu-ray drive too. Of course I knew you guys would also stear me in the right direction. One other thing that the apple store offered is...

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    This is a little bit of why I think my wife and to a lesser degree me, was thinking of getting the mbp since it already ncluudes a disc drive, has the bigger hdd and is the same price or cheaper if using the school discount. we have decided to get the air but I'm not thrilled about needing...

    Ive always hated Lego. Nothing like building a toy that is made to fall apart as soon as you touch it. We were also on Costco today and the apple store now is about the size Of the old one before they enlarged that one. Now it looks like its going to be huge.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    I'm a the apple store now just to look. I already use a 500 g. Seagate for iTunes. The current mb has an 80g hd and we barely have enough space on that even without iTunes in there. No games.

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Ok you guys convinced me, now I will convince her. I like that drive you linked to on amazon Sam. We already have an external 500 gb hd so we should be fine if we need more room. We actually live near the Del Border close to north Wilmington and there is a best buy there but The one right near...

    I see that BB is having a sale on mb's and Air and they actually beat Apples school discount by $25 on the air. Is there price matching g in the Apple store?

    Air or MB what do I lose or gain?

    Yes she qualifies for a discount. It's $100 off the lower priced mbp and $50 off the air. She looks at the numbers and sees that the 13" has 500gb hd and higher ghz numbers, the air for the same price has a smaller 4gb memory and 256gb hd. The MBP is essentially double that and doesn't have a...
