Default Looking for a Notebook - 09-05-2011, 21:08 | posts: 1,543 | Location: USA

I sold my iPad 2 so I can buy a notebook instead. I was wondering if there is anything similar to Mac book Air, but with Windows as OS? I have heard of Samsung Series 9 laptop but I wanted to know if there are any other options?

Thanks

So instead of waiting for other slims, I decided to make my mind now and go Mac for the first time ever. And that's what I am thinking of getting:

http://store.apple.com/us/browse/hom...ook_air/select

The 13inch air with 256gb ssd and i7 cpu.

Now I know that's the only choice I have from apple for a slim laptop but I am reading these mixed responses from all over the google about the new MBA not going to last for too long, because the hardware will be obsolete in a year. Does that apply to the spec I am picking as well? If that's the case then I might just go with the pro or some other windows laptop.

It's a nice laptop but I really don't need a dedicated gpu because all I do is take notes, surf the internet and maybe watch movies. A friend of mine told me to go with something I like so I am going to go with MBA for right now. Money is not a problem - not that I am rich, but I just make enough to get what I want
