hi guys!
@ local bestbuy other day , saw october 2010 mba 13 base $999 brand new, (config. 1.86 ghz, 2gb ram, 128gb ssd), same refurbs @ apple, except brand new , come in brand new retail box (more resale value?)
anyway, puts 13' 2010 mba @ decent value, having higher clocked processor (which main upgrade 2011 11' mba), bigger screen, , decent screen resolution 13 incher. also, sd card slot , gt 320m. don't have worry toshiba vs samsung ssd issue. , ssd twice size on base 2011 11' mba.
however, 2011 11' mba has got thunderbolt, backlit keyboard, , newer generation of cpu. , it's $950. have been using laptop without backlit keyboard past year , didn't miss feature. don't think having thunderbolt on mba gonna much...
guess comes down performance of new i5 clocked @ 1.6ghz vs. c2d clocked @ 1.86ghz. although c2d technically higher clocked, i'm wondering if issues such fsb , power consumption going tip scale in i5's favor, making win 2011 11' base mba?
leaning little toward 13' 2010 mba ancient c2d off-putting. thoughts, guys?
$999 13' 2010 mba or
$949 11' 2011 mba.
please i've been thinking head going explode pure mba awesomeness.
i'd go 11". have 4gb ram option? if so, i'd go that, too, if it's $100.
