Mac Book Air Help

[Mark_T]

My work machines are all Apple now, but I run Windows on them using Boot Camp.

I love my MacBook Air and my 27" iMac, but you won't get me using OSX for anything other than necessary work related product testing.

Love the hardware, hate the OS :)

Following on from my earlier post i have decided to buy one to see how good they are, its a macbook pro 13 i5 with 256 ssd, i will be using it in camshell mode but from what little time ive played with it, it does seem good, and will link up with my ipad, iphone, apple tv, airport time capsule etc so should be banging... Will have bootcamp with windows 7 on in case i need it and an external ssd for data... Also looking at getting a thunderbolt 27" monitor instead of my lg led monitor but at 800 quid its a bit steep!

You can get monitors of the same resolution as the apple thunderbolt unit for about £350 and they will plug straight in to the thunderbolt port (mini display port). Check out Dabs.com as a starting point with lots of choice. Something like this should work a treat:

or you could even go for a 4k monitor for similar money if your laptop will support it.

I was in a similar situation, and was hesitant due to all my files on pc, but tbh, i made copys of important stuff and emailed or memory card them over, i just find most things are easier on the mac. No faffing about which considering i use it for work as well as its a macbook saves me so much time. Granted I've gone form an older pc, to a new mac with a ssd, but theres less maintenance i find with a mac. I was always updating this, patching that with my windows pc, and compatibly between programs always frustrated me. one option is to ge the mac and buy a cheap windows laptop to keep around in case you need it.
