Is the Macbook Pro overkill for me?
Hi,
I know that in the end I am the only one that can decide this but I was just looking for the experiences of other people to help.
I am a historian/writer. I don't do video editing, make presentations, or game on my computer. I basically use it to write and I travel with it when I lecture and teach my classes at different college campuses. I don't even store much on the computer itself as I work in Google Docs and keep most pictures and things on an external hard drive.
My question is, would the new Macbook be enough for my needs? I like the Macbook Pro (I have a late 2011 now but its on its last legs) but I am really impressed by the portability and design of the new Macbook and the lack of ports don't really bother me since I've never made a huge deal out of having to buy separate connectors on the occasion that I do need one.
Can anyone with any experiences or with a lifestyle like mine attest to which machine may be more appropriate, the new Macbook or Macbook Pro?
Thanks for any help
