Hi guys,
I'm considering getting a MacBook, it's either Air or Pro. I am thinking of getting the 11" 128GB full spec (RM 4,356.00) as well as 13" 128GB full spec (RM 4,329.00), both around the same price, also considering MacBook Pro 13" 2.7 GHz default spec (RM 4,599.00) which slightly expensive a bit.
May I know which one is worth to get? My usage would be mostly casual use, not playing game, and portability is in the consideration.
Will the 11" too small for me? Or 13" is good to go? Should I get Pro instead? Will the Air too slow for me?
By the way, I would like to know if there is any way to save some cost for buying a MacBook, as I see from previous post that I can just upgrade the RAM my self, saving a lot of cost here. Other than that, what else I can do to save cost?
Thank you very much for kind suggestions.
11" or 13" i think no one can decide for you. visit an apple reseller and play with both models yourself. it's really ur own preference. just note that the 11" doesnt have an SD card slot
i dont think the 2.7 ghz MBP is a good choice, the 2.3 Ghz is already pretty fast. IMO, the RM900 difference is better spent on AppleCare Protection Plan
about being "too slow"...well u didnt provide much detail on what u're doing, but assuming by "casual use" u mean surfing, watching videos, light photo editing, then the Air (even the 1.4 Ghz) handles that no problem. we used to live in a day where the 'low end' computer cant do much. not anymore

bottom line, since u probably dont need a fast processor, decide between the 11" 1.4Ghz 128GB Air or 13" 1.86Ghz 128GB Air. no need to upgrade anything except for the RAM.
