Hi:

I'm getting sick of my iBook G4 with it's slowness, spinning beachball everyday, the number "one" not working well on the keypad and, of course, Tiger being way out of date. Onyx didn't help with the beachball except for temporarily, and I can't access my Disk Utility on the software CD because I have upgraded Tiger since then. Don't want to get Disk Warrior for this old thing, but maybe will for the new one.

I would like some input on what laptop would best fit my needs and be budget friendly. I only do email, browse the web, watch a few videos, etc. No gaming. No huge downloads, at least not often, if ever. Not a big photo fan.

I'm leaning toward the Macbook Air 13". What do you think?

Do any of the Mac notebooks have a screen that can be used outside besides maybe the Retina? Even cheap PCs have that ability, but my iBook does not. Can't see a thing outside.

Thanks for your input.

Rita
