Have a 4 yr-old 15" MBP, still runs great. But does need a battery for the 3rd time. Rather than a new battery, got the 11" Air with the lager drive & i7 core. Use an external monitor & keyboard with number pad at home. Only problem, just 2 usb ports, so I can't plug in an external HD as the mouse & keyboard are usb.
Got the air for the weight factor. Also fits great in the leather portfolio my GF picked up at a garage sale. Since I plan to be doing a lot of traveling to small towns, got the Verizon mobile wifi hotspot. That little box almost weighs as much as the Air. For that matter, the portfolio weighs more than the Air.
Biggest concern I have is if the battery ever goes dead, It's going to be a pain to have to take it in for a few days service. Have seen YouTube videos on DIY.
