Reducing to personal attacks isn't really the best way to convey your points. I'm sure you're more mature than that.oh wow i built my first computer in year 6 so that's 8 years
~that makes me soooo cool~

i used to think like you, trying to get the best 'bang-for-buck', buying a cheap core 2 and overclocking the fuck out of it etc.
but now i've realised there are much more important things than just specs and that a saving of $100 or $200 means nothing at all on something you're gonna use for possibly 2-3 years
Yes, saving a few hundred dollars is nothing. However, we're comparing two things where one is not only cheaper, but has more 'bang' simultaneously!
This is what I was saying beforehand, the computers they test are brand new. After 2-3 years of use, you will have all these temporary files and random downloads etc all over the place. With only 128gb to work with, you will notice the effect very soon. It will run very smoothly for a couple of months, but with only that kind of capacity, the speed will be reduced to that of a HDD with heaps of spare memory.*video link*
SSDs have improved quite a bit since then
Umm... I think you're getting the concept of resolution wrong. Resolution is the number of pixels, but you're saying that as if all the pixels are the same size, which is most certainly not the case.11" macbook air
same screen resolution as most 13.3" laptops (1366x768)
so unless you're 80 years old, get the 11"
With the 11", you're cramming the same number of pixels into the same area. So although you are in a sense getting very slightly 'higher definition', it still doesn't change the fact your screen size is 11".
=======================
Anyway I'm done here for today. I've had too many of these Mac vs. PC debates for my own good and it's just an endless stream of repetition. OP made his final choice (unfortunately Mac) but what can I do! It's his money after all!
