a quick thought of new MacBook Air price

I read many benchmarks and it looks like SSD makes huge differences in performance comparing to 13-inch MacBook Pro. Typically 256GB SSD are somewhere around $600 range. 320GB 5400rpm HDD are around $60~100. Considering two storage mediums’ price differences, 13-inch MacBook Air doesn’t seem too expensive. No matter what I’d get 15-inch MacBook Pro any given day though.


windows 7.

my external hdd has been acting up weird so i decided to run chkdsk on the hdd. why run chkdsk?? becuase this hdd is formatted as FAT32 so i can use it on both mac and pc.
While i’m running chkdsk i am stuck using windows 7 and i don’t think i ever spent this much time on windows browsing web and doing homework.
honestly it is not bad at all. actually i kinda like it. it seems like the more i use it the more i like it. I should try some music software and see how they run on it-
