IIm starting college in a few weeks and IIm looking into either the 13 inch Mac air or the new Mac book pro. IIm going to be a communications major concentrating in public relations. I except to be writing a lot of papers, and doing research, power points along with my personal web browsing and music listening. I want sometning fast that will last but also easy to carry around campus. I would boost my air up to 2.2ghz and 8gb to match to the pro but I've read that the pro lasts longer while the air is faster initially. I've gotten different opinions from every site. With a $20 price differ after upgrades each is in my range. Any advice is helpful. I don't do any gaming or picture editing either. I also own and Ipad and iPhone so I do a lot of my browsing on there too.
