Can't decide to get a 11 inch Macbook air or a 13 inch Macbook pro?

best external hard drive 1tb 2011 image

Tristan

Hey,guys I'm having a troubling issue on deciding which Mac I should get.It's time to retire my 2008 Macbook and move onto a newer model.The 11 inch and 13 inch Macbook air and pro are both the 2011 models.

The specs for the Macbook air 11 inch:
Intel core i5 Processor 1.6GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
128GB Solid-State Hard Drive
Intel HD 3000 graphics

Macbook pro 2011
2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
320 GB Hard Drive, 8x DVD/CD SuperDrive, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, Precision aluminum unibody
13.3 inch LED-backlit display, 1280-by-800 resolution
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

These are both in the entry line of 750.I'd prefer the Air because of the superb Ultra portability,but the Macbook pro in aspects of performance.And please,no responses that are in aspects being bias towards macs.
Thanks.

Judging by your picture it seems you like to game. It looks like you might need more space on the computer, unless you want to get an external hard drive. (Unless this one is for video editing and such.) The Macbook Pro 2011 seems like it processes faster. Look at what you need in a computer and go from there. Since I game I knew I needed a computer with a huge hard drive and multiple gigs of ram. (1TB ,12G DDR3 Ram). Also look into video-cards.

save files to external hard drive on Mac?

i have a macbook air 2011, and it only has a 64gb hard drive... i have 2x 1tb drives, connected to my router, and i wanted to know how to make my programs and files etc, automatically save onto the external hard drive? and iam using mac.... thanks!
ok i have found my macintosh hd and i have used 47gb... but time machine has an error... but i found the external hard drive on 'Finder' and dragged my mac hd into it... but it hasn't worked... plus, i thought time machine backed it up... so all of the programs would stay on my macbook air and be copied onto the external hd... also... macbook airs are so good... i can run COD 4 on FULL graphics, with basically no lag...!! zoo good

First, hope you're enjoying the new Air, I'll be getting one as soon as finances permit :-)

You'll have an app called TimeMachine included in the OSX Lion.

Here is what it does (taken from the Apple site, to save me writing my version!)

"Time Machine works with your Mac and an external hard drive (sold separately) or Time Capsule. Connect the drive, assign it to Time Machine, and start enjoying some peace of mind. Time Machine automatically backs up your entire Mac, including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, music, photos, movies, and documents. But what makes Time Machine different from other backup applications is that it not only keeps a spare copy of every file, it remembers how your system looked on any given day â so you can revisit your Mac as it appeared in the past."
