My Boy Can, But Unfortunately ....
My Gal's Sch Cannot - They Will Start Using it in Term 2 = Mid-Mar .... :sad: :sad:

Oic... in that case, then get the mac with the faster processing speed. Personally, I wd go with the 13\" - there are 2 models for that. Get the higher tier one in that category. It shd help to see her through her sec school years. In any case, it's not as if she is a gamer or an IT programming student who needs all the sophisticated RAMs and speed, so don't think she will lose out much.

The Mac Air is light but if not mistaken the RAMs and processing speed is slightly lower than the Pro.

Not an IT expert so please take my sharing from a very amatuerish viewpoint.

Thanks schweppes for your sharing from the User View Point!

Get the 13.3\" MBA with 256G Storage.

I am going to get mine for work Q3 when my laptop warranty expires

BTW, if you are interested to know when the new model will roughly be released, you can check on this wensite. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

One way is to get the Macbook first since they just upgraded it Oct 2011.
Let your dd get use to the new OS, then get the Mac Air when the new model come out. You can always use the Macbook at home after you buy the Mac Air for your dd to bring to school.

Apple care only applies to product within the normal warranty period.

Been using my MacBook Pro for more than a year now and I just can't say how satisfied I am with the speed, quality and reliabiliy. Working in a corporate IT environment I'm used with a Windows Operating System but once I get the hang of the MAC, I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANY WINDOWS BASED laptop anymore! :imcool:

if you child needs to do any heavy duty processing, like in rendering 3D with Maya, the Macbook Pro is your only choice.

The Macbook Air, while it has it’s downsides, there are workarounds with USB flash cards for data transfer, USB external drives for expanded storage, external DVD ROM drives, etc… Not the most elegant, but it does work on those occassions you need those peripherals.
However, if you need to do rendering on your notebook, there are no workarounds. You just need a more powerful cpu processor, that only the MacBook Pro can provide.
You can, of course, look at the Windows notebook options as well. Both will provide the necessary computing muscle to do rendering.

If it were me, I’ll take the more powerful processor. If I need the compute power, it’s there. There’s just no workaround for that. The 700g difference is worth it (13" screen)
