I already got her a wonderful snowboarding jacket and a great woven sweater. So I'm not in any real danger right now. But her mid-2012 macbook pro, which was my xmas present to her in 2012, is showing its age.
I haven't kept up with the latest in Apple stuff - from what I gather, the Macbook line has been ruined by mobile processors. And I can't justify the cost of a new macbook pro for no reason.
This brings me to the core of my inquiry: Is the new Macbook Air worth buying? Has the latest version of OSX really made a difference in perceived performance? I was looking at the 13-inch standard Macbook Air plus the upgrade to 2.2 GHz dual-core i7, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD ($1449) but the one she has is similar on paper, albeit old: core2duo 2.4 GHz, 256 GB HDD, 4 GB RAM.
She uses it mostly for excel, email, word, a bit of iMovie stuff, and other lesson planning duties. It seems light, but her old one is really failing to keep up with her.
