Air
I have a MacBook Pro 15" from 2007 that replaced an earlier one that was stolen. It still works, but last night was running slow. Also, there seems to be a battery issue as I have had to replace a battery every year or two. Haven't used it in awhile, was just pulling off my files. Going to sell it. The original I dropped twice. Worked perfect except the DVD quit after the second drop.
My Air is great, no problems after 2 years. I believe lighter is better. Just hook it up to the biggest/cheapest non-Apple monitor there is at home. That and I find using a mouse is much better than the trackpad.
And to top it off, I buy at Nebraska Furn. Mart. Get 24-36 months interest-free financing & their prices are a few dollars cheaper than buying direct from Apple.
Got an iPad. But it's bulky to read books in bed. Soon as the Mini with cellular is out, I'm moving up. As the saying goes, "you can never be too rich or too thin."
On top of everything the Air fits into a leather portfolio my GF found at a garage sale. I'm always getting compliments on the portfolio. When I pull out the Air it blows them away. But workwise. the Air does everything the Pro does.
I tried using a Verizon hotspot WIFI with the Air, but it hardly ever worked. Don't blame Apple. I think the hot spot is a piece of crap. Was going to drop the hot spot account account, but if I can switch the account to a mini it would be great. There's a couple of places I go that AT&T and Sprint have zero coverage. One is a town with a nuke plant. You'd think it would be an emergency requirement all cell services should work there.
