I had the 15 inch MacBook Pro with the biggest/fastest CPU Apple sold at the time. Sold it and bought the 11 inch MacBook Air.
1. Screen size has not bothered me.
2. Lack of a DVD drive has not bothered me. The one time I needed one I did the share thing with my iMac. Worked fine.
3. CPU operations may be a problem for you, but I've been happy with the MacBook Air.
4. Once you carry around the Air you will Swear a Mighty Oath to never carry anything heavier again. I cannot imagine ever owning a MacBook Pro (or anything like it) again.
5. The lack of an ethernet port hasn't bothered me.
6. If you travel, the 11 inch MacBook Air is a delight in cramped coach seats on a plane.
- dlikhten 15y agoI am regretting not getting the 11 inch. I have the 13 and it is a delight. I travel by coach bus to work and it is a delight to work with. The small screen size does not bother me. The only bother is when something starts eating CPU, battery starts draining fast. So GitXL = kill often. CPU is good enough. I am not playing video games here. SSD is f-ing awsome. No DVD drive is a mitzvah since I never use it (I have no DVDs anymore even for purchased software). The only downer is the lack of ethernet plug, but can be remedied by a purchase from apple. I need it from time to time for network admin purposes. Edit: The AIR's physical form makes it very comfortable to type on. 99.9% of the time I am using it with no mouse, no keyboard, no external monitor. In fact I got so used to it I do most of my development on my recliner.
