Does anyone have a MacBook Air 11 inch? I want to find out how it performs gaming wise, specifically with gps games.

If possible i also want to do a comparison between the 2/4 gig ram, 1.4/1.6 ghz CPU.

I have checked YouTube videos but they dont mention hardware specs and graphic details in most of them.
 
The GPU is decent but you'll be held back a bit with the slow CPU. It should be pretty good for games on low settings.
 
Could I sell my MBP 17' 2.8ghz and buy a 15' and an AIR?
Doubtful. The cheapest air is $999 and the cheapest MBP 15" is $1799.00. I doubt anyone would buy a used 17" for $2798 when they can buy a new one for $2699 unless you've added extras.
 
Because he's one of those people that never knows what he wants and keeps on changing his mind all the time :)

You managed to sum up my life in one sentence. :(

I take no offence to it. It is true after all.

What's bugging you about your notebook? That 17" to big to lug around?

When it comes to notebooks I would not go bigger than 15" for portability. Can always hook it up to a 24-30" monitor at home/work.
 
i guess the AIR would be able to play World of Warcraft.. :) So why do you want to play anything else..

Yeah the 17" is VERY big. It is nice to use but carrying it around is a bit hectic.

What do you want for it? I know someone who wants one, but shes going to drive a tough bargin, since the 2011 ones are around the corner.
 
I should have finished downloading the wow client on my 13" air in a few days. So far it looks promising.
 
i want me the 17".... anybody selling theirs, let me know!

R18,500.00 None Excellent

Description: I have a practically new Macbook pro 17" 2.8ghz core i7 processor. It was bought in the US in November and has hardly been used.


It also has the 7200rpm hard drive instead of the 5400rpm.


Included you will also get an inCase lasptop sleeve for it which is really nice.
