Well, blah blah blah Mac vs. Windows shite not really needed.

I'm switching to Mac next month, 5th to be precise, however I'm not 100% sure on which Macbook to grab. It's a head to head race between the Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. The two vary quite a bit in specification, which is why this topic is more around how it feels to work with and what you personally believe.

What I'm going to use my Mac for:
- Managing the social media sites I run for HostForWeb.
- Web browsing.
- College, working with HTML, CSS and C# software.
- College coursework, so Office 2011 probably.
- Music managing, maybe some beat making in GarageBand.
- Possibly Photoshop.

I've narrowed it down between these two PC's.

What one would you think is better for the things I've chosen? Also, do you have personal experiences with one?

The MBP, Both are good, I think the MBP will fit you better. But, Try get the graphics upgraded, Intel graphics are terrible.

I do have personal experiences with the MBP, My grandparents actually bought the 15 inch, It is really cool, I do have an unboxing on my ******* channel if you wish to watch it. (Click Here!!) Excuse my voice, It was awhile ago. Haha. I love it, I used it while I was over there, It was fast as hell, I don't know if they are the same, You can look it up, I know it had an i5 or i3. Not sure which one.

Yeah thanks for your reply Hadyn. I've kinda semi-ushered myself towards the Pro i3 13", just trying to think of what accessories and such I'll need with it.

Get the Magic Mouse, If you don't like trackpads, I don't :P.

I think I may have to.

MacBook Pro would be the way to go in my opinion.
