Wait. Wait. This is not my hat.
I am Katie. I go to grad school or something. I live in Virginia. You are now bored with this autobiography.
This is my Twitter, where I am annoying in shorter spurts.
This is my blog of poems and prose I like.
This is my blog of food that I've made.
Ask me a question here.

I had my mom drive me to check on a cat I’ve seen lying in the same spot in a ditch for two days in a row tonight so I really identify with Will in...
My Macbook Pro is about 4-5 years old. I love her, but she’s slowed down a lot over the past year. Sometimes it’s good as new, other times it elicits up to 10 “auuuuuuuughhhhh”s a day. Still, it could last another year or two, especially with a few trips to the Genius bar, a new keyboard so I can press two again, and a better external drive that can fit more of my big files so they’re not cloggin’ the pipes or whatever happens inside computers.
Also, I miss my iPad. A lot. And it would be useful for school stuff, though I would still need to mostly use my laptop.
So, I could get an iPad as mostly a toy but also a somewhat useful thing, and get a new computer later, or I could get a fancy little new computer now (I want an Air so it’s easier to tote to and from class) and just continue my visceral iPad lust for a few more years. DECIDE FOR ME THANKS.

A solid state drive will boost the speed of your current Mac, iPad with some cloud services can be useful esp w/ a bt kb. Try that& hold off

I’d say laptop is ultimately going to be more useful for school purposes.

You could do the iPad/Bluetooth keyboard thing, but in the long run you’re better off with the MBA I’d say. If you can find a used iPad to go with it and to take notes, etc. then that would be even better.

There’s another option here, too: a fast 7200rpm internal HD to replace your current disk. It would help MASSIVELY in speeding up old MBP.

I bought an 11” Air earlier this year and I am passionately in love with it. It’d be a perfect college computer.
