I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I know I'm getting another Apple. I just can't decide whether I should get a MacBook Air ($999) or a MacBook ($1299). Can anyone shed any light on why I shouldn't just go with the cheaper MacBook Air? I don't play video games and I rarely edit video. I primarily use my laptop for word processing and the Internet, with a little photo editing thrown in.

MacBook vs. MacBook Air

I have the tiny Air, and I'm really happy with it. I use it for internet, word processing, and photo management (not really much editing). It barely weighs more than a tablet, so it's super easy to carry around.
It does not have a disc drive, which is occasionally annoying, but we have an external drive that I can easily plug into a usb port.Julia - legislative process lover and general government nerd, married to a PICU & Medical Ethics attending, raising a toddler son and expecting a baby daughter Oct '16.

MacBook vs. MacBook Air
[MENTION=3775]JDAZ11[/MENTION] Do you mean the MacBook doesn't have an internal disc drive or the Air?
[MENTION=1318]oceanchild[/MENTION] Is there anything that you can't do with your Air (besides the disc drive issue) that you wish you could, or that you could do with a desktop Mac?
