Macbook Air 11: Mid 2011 vs. late 2010

[Benedykt]

Apparently, the new Macbook air with Sandy Bridge is a much faster processor than its processor. However, I have a question for you.

What do you think would best performance among?

• In late 2010 the best version with 4 GB of RAM, 1.6 GHz processor and 128 GB SSD
  Vs.
• In mid-2011 entry-level, with 2GB of RAM, processor, new-fangled bridge of sand and 64 GB.

The thing is I could get the second hand to the former $ 200 cheaper than the second (again).But I'd keep an obsolete machine.

Are comparisons between 13in specs similar to those above and the new equivalent? He said that what you're thinking of using it for? This will help us answer your question.

I will make use of for very basic things.

Checking e-mail, web research, to the movies "on the go" and some photo editing minor. I realize that this does not require a powerful machine. The iPad would be sufficient. However, after having had the iPad, I feel like when I have to edit an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document and so on, I cannot do anything on the iPad.

A base of the Macbook Air is departing to be sufficient, I thinking. yet, reading reviews of the basic purpose of the Macbook Air of 2010, I perceive that move violently a tad when playing HD content (HD YouTube videos) .Well, I'd rather spend a little more money and to avoid any of the above .Perhaps the end of 2010 the premium version with 4 GB of RAM, 1.6 GHz processor and 128 GB SSD might be sufficient and not too sluggish compared to new models

Most of the new MBA will not have this problem, but I imagine that the 2010 version is well superior to you, especially if less than the cheapest of the new MBA. Following is configuration of Macbook air 11

• 13.3-inch Display
• 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with 3MB shared L3 cache
• 256GB flash storage
• 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 onboard memory
• Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 256MB or 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
• Face Time camera
• Dual display and video mirroring: simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560x1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
• Two USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps)
• Thunderbolt port
• SD card slot

Price as to which is more or less like this:

• Secondhand superior 2010 version: 850 Euros
• Renovated 2010 entry-level: 700 Euros
• New-fangled 2011 model input level: 950 Euros
• New-fangled peak model 2011 version: 1149 Euros

My vote is for the first or last, who said that if you saw the old videos is not really much slower for everyday tasks, making and editing movies and is really where you notice the performance increases again of the MBA.

[Kickapoo]

I imagine it would be making video editing a good deal in it. Other than maybe I might have to do some image editing or screening high-definition video. And I would like to make certain that an 850 euro laptop does so without troubles.

To make my final decision would have to wait a comparison video of option 1 and 4 from my previous post. I have to decide quickly - the man can sell at any time.

[Odalis]

I imagine that's what the videos were compared. So if you stay tuned you will likely find more video comparisons, truthfully, I would go away with the primary option and maybe acquire an apple care plan to go with it and are still under warranty for one year.

[Farrah]

I was at the Apple store today. They were focusing on how much faster than the new processor.

In addition, the Macbok was having built in Lion, unlike the previous version.
Finally, if I had to pay out 800 Euros for option 1 + Apple Care (250 Euros), I would pay out as much as the new-fangled costs of MBA! Finally I complete my decision.
