hey there people i am in the process of updating my old windows laptop n moving onto a new laptop,now the problem is that i have 2 choices,basically am looking for a really ultra light and portable lappy..so i checked outthe following two however need advice on which one will be compatable for my use and based on the aviation software im using :
TOSHIBA PROTOGE R-700:
BASIC CONFIGURATION:
13" SCREEN/INTEL i5 processor,500 GB hard drive,ON BOARDGRAPHICS INTELCHIPSET,3 GB RAM,SUPER SLIM DVD DRIVE INBUILT,TOTAL WEIGHT:1.35KGS
WINDOWS 7 OS
V/S
APPLE MAC BRRO AIR/PRO OF 11"/13" SCREENS
AIR: INTELCORE 2 PROCESSOR
PRO: INTEL i5 PROCESSOR
HDD:320 HDD ON PRO AND 128 SSD ON AIR ,
RAM:3 GB ON PRO, NOT SURE ON THE AIR I THINK ITS 3 GB ALSO
GRAPHICS CARD IS AN NVEDIA CARD
AIR WT: LESS THAN 1KG AND PRO:2.1 KG
AIR : DOESNT NOT COME WITH AN DVD DRIVE ITS APPROX 75 USD FOR AN EXTERNAL DRIVE
PRO: INBUILT DVD DRIVE
now here is the problem:
I NEED SOMETHING LIGHT REALLY LIGHT HENCE THE AIR/TOSHIBA R-700 , now for the main issue :
im flying the airbus a330/320 and have cbts to review from time to time ,obviously those using mac already know that this isnt possible on the ac hence i ws thinking of the ptoshiba r700, however with bootcamp and parallel os compatability on the mac as claimed by mac i want to knowis it really possible and comfortable to us e a mac and should i switch to a mac based system.
also buying a seperate dvd external forthe air is it worth it,
please do adivse me on which laptop would be better. i have checked the prices and the apple is more expensive but with additional expenses where as the r-700 isnt that expensicv and might work out for me ..
i welcome ne tips on this topic asap...my old laptop is really dieing outon me and i need to upgrade asap....
looking forward for ur comments and views ..
