So, i've been searching around for a laptop for home use for quite some time. I''m usually only my work laptop at home as I have to carry it back and forth on a daily basis. But I've been thinking about getting my own laptop for quite a while.
I cannot even believe that this is about to happen, but it looks like I am going to actually pick up a Macbook Air. I've got some outside volunteer work that I do with audio technology and everything they use is mac based and I have to get up to speed with the technology. I've always been able to skip Apple products in the past as they didn't offer me anything that I needed or they haven't resolved any problems that I have faced. But now i actually have a need, and the MBA is the most effective and least expensive route to making that happen.
