Black MacBook or Air?

2008-07-07 14:03:06

It's time for a new laptop. Should I get a black MacBook or a MacBook Air? I keep waffling. I basically use it for remote access to my work/home desktop computers, for web browsing and email.

Black:

Faster (33%50%) More Disk Space (3X) Faster Disk (5400RPM) Has DVD Cheaper ($300)

Air:

Awesome LED backlit display Smaller

I'm leaning towards the BlackBook.

Update: BlackBook it is! What put me over the edge (aside from cough $300) was lack of an ethernet port on the Air. I don't want to carry around a stupid dongle to plug in to a LAN.
