| 1368275 | 2014-02-21 01:48:00 | Big SSD's add cost quickly. I find 128GB fine, and keep my movies etc on an external drive. Not disagreeing about the Mac Air at all (It would be my choice), but there are other options if you want to pay the money or are just too busy being an Apple hater to see it really is a good option. Agreed, purchased a Macbook Pro the other day, got the 256gb version because I need to dualboot. Even with Mac and Windows on it I still have a tonne of space free. |

| 1368277 | 2014-02-21 02:30:00 | If you're keeping movies on an external drive then you really have very little need for drive space. In fact Cicero mate, I'd suggest you look at something like this: www.pbtech.co.nz Weighs the same as the Zenbook and the Macbook Air. Zero OS management. Granted there's less space for storage onboard, but that's likely not a big issue given what you've said you wanna do with it. Only difference is you could by 3 for the price of a Macbook Air ;) - Browse the internet? Check - Send emails? Check - Watch movies from USB? Check - Light? Check - Cost effecitve? Check Sounds like the go to me :D Food for thought, not sure about Chrome thing, I tend never to use it as it has a tendency to put unrequited crap on computer. I like the 13" screen, but the $500 is tempting. |

Although on most(?) you can hack the BIOS and install Linux, which would be far more useful. |

| 1368279 | 2014-02-21 02:53:00 | Ah the Google OS.. that works too, provided you have constant internet access as none of your Google apps reside on your laptop;) Plenty of choice there Cicero. You mean for all those times when you want to browse the internet without internet connectivity? :-/ |

Although on most(?) you can hack the BIOS and install Linux, which would be far more useful. Why would you want to do that? I thought the purpose of buying a computer was so that you could turn it on and just go :) |
