Mac Laptop or Ipad...which should I get?

BSeabob - thanks for the hint. I have a question. Is there a way to make the Font bigger? That is my only complaint is that when I open a web page, I feel the font is too small. I of course, pinch the track pad and enlarge it, but still, if I could pre-set it, that would be great!

We called our son/gf and told them we bought one and that we wanted to buy one for the baby. LOL Their computers are both 8+ years old, no cameras, etc and are dying a slow death, so, they went and bought a 13" MacBook Pro. Woo-hoo - Face Time!!! Oh, and, he got a $100 off student discount, so he paid less for his than I did for mine. Good job!!

That's easy, Corky; just sit closer to the screen...

Did order the MacBook Air yesterday, hope I get it soon.
It will be easier to drag along on my future travels, got two trips in August.
Got the 13" 128g version, will anyway do all the hard work and photo editing with my 27" iMac.
My old MacBook Pro have started to show up signs that it don't feel that good, and if you want to bring it to service, they charge you a lot just to look at it, without touching it, speaking of all the new parts.
That is the reason I got the new notebook so I get all my photos uploaded to the computer by the end of each day on my vacation when I'm abroad.
Imagine, that the old computer would die while on vacation and you would loose all those valuable vacation photos, that would be a disaster.

Christoffer - enjoy your new Air!! And, it is lighter than Air, it is an amazing little machine. I hope I can use it to its full potential. LOL
I have a lot to learn, may even look for a Mac class. ; )

Corky - Not sure if you use Orbitz, but something came up in the news about how they show different offerings to Mac users over PC users. Apparently their research shows that Mac users tend to book more expensive and trendy hotels as where PC users are more discount purchasers. So they are displaying different results depending on the operating system of the user. Interesting. I don't have a Mac but would be curious if this is true.

Corky do you have an Apple store near you - they have wonderful free classes and if you invest $100 you can take multiple one on one classes for a year. I did this I took over 20 classes to learn all about my iMac and loved it. The employees at my local Apple and great and so knowledgable that when I retire from nursing in apx 18 months at age 70 I want to work part time for Apple if they will hire me. I want to teach the classes as I think it would be so much fun. Enjoy Susan

Wow! That s/b illegal. I will do a test when I get a moment. One, fake book a hotel on Orbitz using my Mac and then face book a hotel on Orbitz using my Dell. I will let you know. Thanks for the info!!
