Hi there

on the point of getting an Air 11inch.

Sub-question: Not sure about the smaller or larger drive (comments welcome. my most computer savvy friend uses very little storage these days, and I only use less than a quarter in the iPad, oh and I have a Macbook and external for backup.)

Sub-question: How about secondhand to save a few thou? Worth it nowadays with SS drives, modern batteries etc?

Main theme is: are they about to bring out something newer or better or anything like that?

thanks Cheeryble

11in is a bit small but depends on how you are going to use it. I've had the 13in C2D model with 256gb ssd as my only personal computer fo rthe past 2 years now and it's the best laptop/computer i've ever owned. I take it with me all the time bcs it is so light, no need to bring the charger most of the time and boots up in seconds. The laptopo has over 350 charge cycles on it already and is still getting anywhere between 4-9 hours battery time (depending on usage)

Get the larger harddrive because you can upgrade later and also the OS takes up some space.

Sorry I doubled up the thread somehow......

Yes indeed I got the 13 inch with 256BG as you suggest :-)
