To MacBook Air or not to MacBook Air - PC Work Question

Aloha,
I am debating on buying a MacBook Air. I currently have an iMac at home and I love Apple products.
I need to purchase a laptop that runs XP, due to work.
Does the MacBook Air have enough power to do this well? As I will not only have to use XP, but I will have to remote log-in to my computer at work as well.
I am debating on getting a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro...
Any MacBook Air users who run XP?
Any advise is much appreciated.
Mahalo nui loa!

While the MacBook Air has improved with the second iteration, it still has performance issues. The standard MBA uses a 4200 RPM hard drive, and that will effect performance no matter what OS is being run, virtualized or not. A $500 upgrade to the low-end MBA, or purchasing the high-end model, will mitigate this with a solid-state drive. However, the SSD in the MBA is not one of the new, faster SSDs, like the Intel X-25M. The SSD option on the MBA is seriously overpriced for the performance benefit. Even if you do upgrade the hard drive, the MBA is limited to 2 GB RAM, no upgrade being possible as the RAM is soldered onto the main board. If you plan on running Windows XP virtualized, allocating RAM will be an issue. As an example, VMware specifically recommends setting the preferences of Fusion to favor OS X on the MBA.
For running Windows virtualized, which avoids the need to reboot when switching between OS X and XP, I believe the best price/performance solution is a MacBook with 4GB RAM and an Intel X-25M SSD. I would point out that the MacBook's display has been criticized for glare issues though. If money and/or weight are not issues, the MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM or more, fast SSD or not, is the best choice.

  • IMac can see my Macbook Air but not my Macbook

    Recently upgraded iMac and Macbook to 10.5.8, Macbook Air running 10.5.7
    Both laptops connected to iMac via Netgear wireless router.
    All was fine until yesterday.
    Now my iMac can't see the Macbook but can see the Macbook Air when I go to Finder/Network on the iMac.
    Curiously, the Macbook and the Macbook Air can both see the iMac when I go to Finder/Network on the two laptops.
    Have unplugged the wireless router from the mains for five mins to reboot it.
    Can confirm that Security/Firewall on the Macbook is set to "Allow All Incoming Connections"
    Anyone any suggestions???

  • Slow Printing after upgrade on Macbook Air but NOT no Macbook

    After installing the newest firmware on my AEBS, my Macbook Air prints to my USB connected printer very slowly. If it's a page with just text, it will print with-in 10-15 seconds. However, when it has images, it will take 1-2 minutes before it starts to print. (Note that nothing else is on the network at the time.)
    However, my Macbook (non-Air) has no trouble printing images and functions just like it did before the newest firmware.
    I've reinstalled the driver on my Macbook Air but that didn't do anything. Hooking up the Macbook Air directly to the printer gives me speedy printing. I can't figure out what settings on my Macbook Air is making this delay happen. Any thoughts?

    ... I solved the problem. Deleted the partition using the utility that comes up when booting while holding down <cmd> and <R>.
    made a new partition.
    then --- all in the utility that came up during booting with cmd-r ---- restored my HD up from my the TimeMachine external HD.
    when all was done the MountainLion update continued as nothing had happened. Even the 2GB OS download was restored. :-)
    before letting him continue I deactivated FileVault, reset passwords to less complicated ones that would work with any keyboard layout and activated automatic login. All this did the trick. Now I am happily dictating away in Pages (THIS was my true reason to update to Mountain Lion.... as well as my addiction to new apple stuff ;-)
    cheers, Martin

  • Macbook Pro does not start up and nothing works. Need recovery!

    Hi there
    My MacBook Pro has shut down while wathcing a video and when ever I try to start up, a sign looking loke"no parking (Prohibitory Sign)" comes up after grey screen.
    I tried to start it in safe mode but it does not go in safe mode.
    Tried pram and nvram reset pro but didnt help.
    Succesfully started in recovery mode ( tried both cmd + R and Cmd +opt+ R) tried disc repair but it cannot repair or verify anything. it gives me errors.
    Could not recover anything in here as could not find any back up.
    Tried to re-install Maveric but could not see HDD, so could not go ahead.
    Inserted OS X installationCD that came with laptop, stared up by holding C, tried to repair disk but again, could not repair disk.
    Could not do anything in Terminal.
    I cannot even erase and re-install the OS
    I also had windows 7 installed but now I cant start it up aswell.
    The question is, what else I can try to save my computer? More importantly, I have so many pictures I want to save. How can I save them?
    Thanks in advance!
    Memis.

    Based on the procedures you have tried and the symptoms you have described, your MBP internal HDD had failed and will need to be replaced.
    If you have a backup, your data should be available to you when you install the new HDD.  If you do not have a backup, you may try to see if any of the data recovery software available online will work for you.  Most have a trrial version that will tell you if they can be of any use for you or not.  The last option is to engage the services of a data recover firm.  They will not guarantee if they can get any or all of your data and will be very expensive.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

    Hi to everybody,
      It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
    I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
    My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
    Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
    All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
    All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
    What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

    After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

  • Airport Express Printer Works with Macbook Pro, but not on Macbook

    We have two Macs -- a Macbook Pro, and a Macbook. Both are connected to an Airport Express, and can access the internet and control Airtunes without any issue. However, only the Macbook Pro can print to the Aiport Express connected printer -- a Canon ip3500.
    When I go to system preferences to add the printer on the Macbook, the printer is available, and it allows me to add it. However, the location of the printer and the driver( or at least the driver number) are different, even though it is pre-populated by the computer itself.
    Once the printer shows as being installed, I can print to that printer, but the job is automatically "Stopped" in the status. I cannot restart the job, it just stalls out.
    When the printer is connected via USB, the Macbook can print to it without issue. It can also print to it via bonjour if I share the printer from the Macbook Pro.
    Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

    Try creating a new location in the network settings. Then select Network port configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list. Uncheck any unused connection types such as built-in modem and Bluetooth.

  • Squeeky Macbook?! (not black macbook)

    So, I've had my macbook since Christmas and I'm in love with it - I treat it like an infant.
    But, recently, I've noticed a squeak. I read about people's black Macbooks squeaking at the hinges but this isn't my problem. When the screen is up and on my lap or on a table and I move it slightly - it squeaks. It sounds like it's coming from the middle of the keyboard or something. It's extremely irritating, should this be happening?
    Macbook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I just fixed this on my machine yesterday:

  • Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt display day to day work question

    I have a late 2013 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro and recently bought a Thunderbolt display.
    When I'm in my office I use it on the display don't have the display anytime I'm not in the office.
    Given the larger pixel dimension on the display, when I'm in the office and use the display, I'm having to re-size windows constantly to make maximum use of the real estate.
    Are there any settings on the Macbook Pro and/or the Thunderbolt Display where without having to adjust I can have windows maximize the available real estate?  Thanks.

    I kind of figured this out. The reason I wasn't satisfied was that without the power adaptor when you hit a button on the keyboard the monitor actually wakes up the computer, works fine for a few seconds and then puts the computer to sleep. That kind of proves that it does work, technically at least. The problem is going into sleep mode afterwards.
    Anyway i guess it just doesnt work. Thanks.
    ps. If there is a way of discharging the battery with software while the power adaptor was still on, would be great help.

  • AIR application not installed

    Hi all,
    My AIR application not installed.
    AIR application installer shows window with 'Getting ready to install..." and window closed and nothing happens. What I'm doing wrong and where I can see an 'installation log' to obtain the root reason of AIR installation problems?
    My env: Fedora 12 x64, AIR and AIR SDK just downloaded and installed from site. All AIR SDK applications (adl and adt) works well.
