• Why is buying an Air a bad idea? The MB is all but useless with no USB ports and the Pro is incredibly overpriced.

    Surely RAM as opposed to a new HDD would make it run quicker, or have I got that wrong?

  • Ram won't do much unless you are currently using all of your current Ram.

    An Ssd runs many many times faster then a normal hard drive and will make every single task you do much quicker.

  • If you do want o go new, might be worth checking out the refurb store on Apple as usually you can get some good discounts on older models.

    But yeah, I wouldn't get a MacBook Air

  • Because the current Air model is almost 2 years old and apple logics says it will be yesterday's technology before you know it. Also why spend 1200 in an air when you can spend less than 1000 in a pro plus a fiver for a couple of usb adaptors?

    RAM and hard drive do different things, depends on what you want to do, having more RAM doesn't always benefit your tasks, or not to a nnoticeable level anyway... Having faster hard drive, or SSD makes saving and locating things faster hence overall faster performance.
