if it lasts as many years as my last 15" macbook pro did without me feeling TOO jealous of the new models ;-) I'll be very happy

these guys do nice bundles of useful apps from time to time at silly prices!

Like the bundle today includes full parallels (run windows on mac)
screenflow (record your screen as you do things)
some games
keystroke shortcut helper

for $49.99

it's a bargain as parallels normally costs at least that on its own

Ok, I've caught up on the thread. Seems you all were busy while I was working.

I'm still a little undecided which to get, either a new iPad or a macbook air. I would need it for work and just for fun too. It seems most of my notes (for work) will be done on paper, but I will still need to be able to get on on the 'net and do some typing. iPad or macbook air (the small one)? Anything I should think about? Is there something that the macbook air can do that the iPad can't?

[Keith]

for me, the decision is will you use the device mainly for reading/browsing/reading email and occasional replies? or will you want to use it to type long essays, documents or generally do a lot of keyboard/mouse work?

If the former, then you'll love the ipad

if the latter, then the macbook air either 11 or 13, will wow you with how great they are

I think if you're undecided, the macbook air is the more capable.

I could live without my ipad (though it'd hurt nowadays!) but I couldn't live without my laptop
