Owning an 11.6 MBA and an iPad

[archurban]

Its funny because I had an HP Envy 15, which is about as good of a gaming laptop as you could get, and I spent MUCH more time gaming on the iPad than on the Envy. It has convinced me that I don't need much gaming power in a laptop, although I would buy the 13.3" Air over the 11.6".

If you need ultraportability, the iPad is going to be better than the 11", and if you have some sort of bag on you anyway, might as well carry the 13". As far as i'm concerned, it is just a better value. You get a lot more hardware for only a little more money. You spend basically $300 to get an upgrade to 128GB SSD, 13" screen, 2 extra hours of battery life, SD card slot, larger trackpad, and a 30% faster processor. I think that is worth it.

For me though, I would get a pc desktop over an iMac, but it just depends on whether windows is useful for you.

everybody has different taste. you seem to like mobile game than tradition one. but in my experience, I don't really get into iphone, ipad games even I have ipad. I like more real experience games which only can be played on PC or mac. no offense, but that kind of simple mobile game is for kids. just think about it. you can't compare that some mobile games with COD modern warfare 2, medel of honor, or fallout new vegas, right? that's what I want to get some experience when I play a game. on the go, I just surf the web.

Sure, but I play those games on my desktop. When I am on the go, playing games on my android phone or ipad is much more convenient than trying to get my laptop, external mouse and headset hooked up.
