I was in Best Buy this morning and looked at the MacBooks. No sales person even came over to me to help me. I must have looked like I wasn't buying! I saw the 11" and 13" books and can't believe how small the screens were. The one I had my eye on was the 15" with retina display. It was about $2,000! I'm not willing to spend that much.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro with retina display and it is expensive. The retina display is amazing.

Seeing the 11" and 13" side by side with the 15", there is no comparison the 15" is the way to go! I don't think I'm willing to spend that much. Enjoy your MacBook Pro!

I did something I said I'd never do. I bought the Mac book air and I love it. My del got thar hi jack virus on it. I have a mini iPad and for quick checks of email and FB it is great. But I am a typist and I love a keyboard. It was a gift to me from me. Now have any of you migrated with Yosemite. I have a couple old excel sheets I would like to restore. I've got a lot to learn but thoroughly enjoying the process

I just bought a new computer a couple of months ago, and I bought the 13" MacBook Air. I love it. I wasn't sure about the size either, but I've gotten used to it and it's fine. I'm really glad I went with the Mac.

Re: Thinking About A New Computer

Before I had cataract surgery, I thought I would see a larger screen better, so we bought a 17" MacBook Air, and came to find out that The screen size actually didn't make so much difference- I could change the font size on a smaller screen. The next time, I'll have one of the Apple sellers demonstrate font sizes on laptops of various sizes so that I can make a more educated decision.
