That's funny, a friend of mine just made the same decision last night: she ended up getting the MBP while the in-machine burner is still available. The next MBP design is alleged to have that eliminated.
I have a 2009 MBP (17", personal) and a 2011 Air (13", from work). I like the larger screen and better graphics card (relative to release date) on my machine, but the Air is super light and nice to lug around. However, the Air tends to stay attached to a 27" Apple display (also from work), so the display issue isn't really a big one (Terminal on small screen, everything else on big screen).
The Air performs like a champ but seems to have its fans ramped up often, even when running iTunes or a YT video.
- aitoehigie 15y agofrom rumours making the rounds, how soon are we going to see the 15" macbook air?
- dlikhten 15y agoI wouldn't buy it. 15 inches is too much for the bus. 11 inches is idea.
- mcrider 15y agoI'm more excited by the Ivy Bridge processor thats supposed to show up in the new Airs. I for one am waiting for the new Air to be announced (the rumor mills say Q1/Q2 of this year), whereupon it will replace my aging Mac Pro (which, being almost 6 years old, is still a champ as long as you have an SSD in it).
- steventruong 15y agoIvy Bridge got pushed back according to Intel until at least June supposedly. If the Air is to be released during its regular update cycle, it might actually not have it but otherwise I would look to a mid-summer launch for both the Air and Pro with Ivy Bridge.
