Hessec, I do own the Air with optional SSD. It is one darn sexy little number, but I will never download/store music. Hmmm...(reminds me of when I bought a used B&O 5000 25+yrs ago, no TT, then their first linier tracking table came out. Bought it new with m3 cartridge $500. Loved it! Next their first CDP came out, 5500.. I inquired the price..$1000.!! Hey, I loved LP's...I will never get into CD's, I said!!). Well...I recently bought a Naim cd555/ps555 and am building a CD collection...I will NEVER say NEVER again, really this time! Oh, Mac Pro is so much more in performance than Air. This is one example where a little more $ buys alot more. Enjoy
New macbook air for computer audio
Do you think the new macbook air 13" would be suitable for streaming audio? The new one has a ssd which is apparently much faster than a hard drive. Downside is that storage is a bit short and very expensive. I am struggling to figure out if it would be worth the extra $750 for the macbook pro 15" which has firewire etc.. I will really only use the computer for web surfing and downloading/streaming 24/96. Anyone using the new air? Your thoughts?
