Please help me decide :)

I am looking to purchase one of the two BTO Macbook Air... need some help.

It is mostly for school (3 times/week) and travel (once/year).

I have iMac and Macbook Pro 13" and iPad already. I am attracted to the Macbook Air because of the weight and Flash HD.

Both of the 2 choices I am thinking come to exactly the same price and I am the guy who sells and upgrade a computer within 2 years tops.

Option 1:
- 11" Macbook Air, 1.6Ghz, 128GB Disk space, 4GB RAM

Option 2:
- 13.3" Macbook Air, 1.86GHz, 128GB Disk space, 4GB RAM

Prices are identical, trade offs between the two are:
(13")
- 2" bigger screen size
- 2h longer battery life
- 0.26GHz processor speed
- SD slot

for

(11")
- 0.6lb lighter
- smaller size


What should I do? Torn between the 2 products.. I would like the option to play games (SC2, WoW) when I am travelling, but I only do that once/year.

You should sit back and enjoy your 13.3 inch macbook pro

I agree, based on your lifestyle description. Save your $$$ and enjoy what you have already. It sounds more of a "want" than a "need."

I have gone for the 13" spec that you listed. I think its the best balance alongside my iMac. For me the 16:9 couple with the smaller screen put me off the 11" (I think the 13" is better value unless you go for the very bottom stock 11")

Lets be realistic, if ever there was a 'want' product, the new air is it

I bet less that 5% of buyers 'need' the new macbook air.
