And I am of the opposite opinion.   With iCloud or Dropbox, storage isn't an issue.

I have both a 15inch Quad Core i7 MacBook Pro as well as a 13inch Core i7
MacBook Air and it depends on what you need if you need the Storage I
would gt the MacBook Pro since you can get a 1TB HD in it. But if you need a
light weight laptop and do not mind the 256 SSD that come in the Air then I
would go with the Air not true at I think for $500 to $1,000 dollars you can
get a 500 GB SSD for the Air. Since I have a Thunderbolt Drive that I hook
up the the Air to have my iTunes and Photos on it. I am quite happy with
the Air. As I said it depends on what you need. The Pro has more power then
the Air but the Air can hold it on with demanding software as well.

I am considering converting and debating which model to choose. I will go with a 13" screen. I travel a lot by van which is set up to be home and office while away. I have three stand alone spreadsheets used for payroll data storage and calculation. I do a small amount of text editing. I participate in some Yahoo groups and a couple of forums related to my business. I have business and personal emails. I might watch an episode of a TV show on abc.com or USA.com or whatever.

I have heard of GTA and a few other games but don't play any. I do now and then enjoy sudoku and crosswords. IOW, I don't do any highly intensive computational work. I'm considering the $1,199 version of both models with the $100 upgrade to 8gb memory. The weight of the Pro isn't an issue since I won't be schlepping it for miles across campuses or anything.

Opinions please, based on my usage, whether the extra memory is advisable, whether one model is superior to the other, and any/all other comments/suggestions/opinions you'd care to share. Thanks and 73.

Patty,

What hardware are you using for the capture? And what camcorder are you using for playback? The 4 pin S-Video will give the best picture. If you use the S-video you will not use the yellow cable as that is standard video, you will then use the red/white cables for audio assuming that is what the capture device has.

I would appreciate any tips on syncing audio and video as i transfer footage from my camcorder to my mac book pro. I successfully transferred vhs footage to mpr iMovie via
roxio transfer program. yay!! last night as i tried to transfer from the camcorder the audio
and video seemed to have a bit of a delay. I used the s cable and the yellow plug for audio.
Then tried using the red,white, yellow and s cable .. maybe an improvement there. What's the best method?

Thanks,
Patty

Thank you. I'm ordering an iPad, and have joined the iPad list on
yahoogroups. Hoping the iPad will get along well with my MBP.
