Buying macbook air

If I'm going to buy a macbook air 13 inch display with I7 processor that cost $1,699. Should I buy it or not? What other macbook would be a better idea? 

With the information you give, there is no right answer. Every model Mac has it's unique set of reasons why it is perfect for some, and the wrong choice for others. Most people in this particular forum have chosen the Air for it's size, weight, transportability, etc. It is not without compromise. The Air, being manufactured so compactly, is made with less upgradability than any other Mac. It will play a lot of games, but it is by no means a "gaming machine", relative to other Macs.
For me, the Air is just right. I own two, a 13" and a 11". I am a former MacBook Pro user, and an former iMac user. I find the Air to completely satisfy my circumstances. I will almost certainly buy the next edition as well.
I suggest you visit an Apple store. Play with the models, then come back with your questions.

    If all you need is Office then you dont need Windows 7 as there is already a version of Office which will run on a Mac. Its called Office 2011.
    You can get it from the mac store or anywhere else that sells office

    I want to buy macbook air, could I customized it with 1TB flash memory?

    No.  The maximum configuraiton for a MacBook Air is a 512 GB SSD: $1700 with 8 GB of RAM.  http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-air?product=MD761LL/A&step=config
    However, a Retina MacBook Pro is almost the same as a MacBook Air and can be configured with a 1 TB SSD: $2,300 with 8 GB of RAM.  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5965798?tstart=0

  • Buying Macbook Air used

    Situation: Buying Macbook Air used that was purchased in Nov 2012
    I would like to purchase this macbook and add Applecare.
    1. What do I need from the seller? (receipts, etc...)
    2. What do I need to watch out for?

    You need proof that the seller is the rightful owner. Check that the name on the receipt matches his photo ID, and the serial number matches the receipt.
    You also need reasonable evidence that the machine is in working order. Inspect carefully for damage. Run the Apple Hardware Test (extended version.) Even if it passes, you're still taking a risk. It's still under warranty, but damage, such as liquid spills, won't be covered.

  • Should I buy  MacBook Air?

    Today I bought 4th generation Ipad. When looking for it I saw MacBook Air and I think it's awesome. Should I buy it or will it be unnecessary expenditure? I want to buy the model with 11.6", 2gb ram, i5, 1.60ghz, 64 gb, 256 mb graphics card. I just want to use mac so I want buy this one. What do you think?
    I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    Buy. Get more RAM - 2 GB isn't really enough. Get larger SSD - at least 128 GBs.

  • When to buy Macbook Air for Compatibility

    I will probably need to purchase a new laptop this year as my trusty Asus UL30A is literally falling apart (pieces of plastic have started falling apart and the case is coming apart too. 
    For a variety of reasons, I expect that we will see a new release of the Macbook Air line in Q3 of 2012, and normally I would wait to purchase the new model until it comes out so that I can maximize my value of the product's lifecycle, but I was wondering if, due to hardware compatibility issues, people might recommend buying an Apple product later in the product cycle to account for hardware issues in Apple products.  Any advice?

    About half of the fourth generation Airs were stuck with vesa graphic modes for the first 3 months. The other half didn't have a working screen at all, just black. We were stuck in some bar for ages waiting for them to fix it...

  • Which apps store have student price discount if I want to buy MacBook Air? At KL area

    I want to buy a MacBook Air now. But which apple store at KL have student price discount? I'm from college.

    All Apple Stores honor academic discounts for students with proof of enrollment such as a student ID card. Your university's computer store may also provide the discount on Macs if they carry them.
    You can also order them from Apple's Online Store by selecting the link  on the main page for Education purchases.
