Been re-reading Eragon. Decided to re-watch the movie to see if it was really as bad as I remember it.

It's soooooo much worse.

There was never an Eragon movie, Kate. You're mistaken
Congratulations =)

Have been thinking of purchasing a new laptop for a while now and I'm tempted by the Black Friday deals. I'm using a Macbook Air 11" at the moment. Macbook Air 13" or Macbook Pro 13"? That is the question... ???

I had this same conundrum fairly recently. I went with the Pro - no regrets. The lack of USB ports is my only gripe.

What will you be using it for predominantly? Just uni stuff?

Depends what you would be using it for. If it's just for uni and you won't be using much software, the Air should be enough IMO (cheaper + lighter) :)
Life is weird and crazy as heck but what can you do?

Yeah, just uni stuff. I do play around with Lightroom and Photoshop a bit too, and I was thinking of getting Final Cut Pro as well. Both seem to run fine on the Air, but I don't use them all that often either.

The Air is insanely cheap right now because of Black Friday, but I don't know if it's silly to invest in an Air from 2015?

Weight-wise, the Air is 1.35 kg, and the Pro is 1.37 kg. :P Decisions, decisions...

The cheapest I've found (in-store) is $1299 for the Macbook Air 13" at Officeworks, or the Macbook Pro 13" for $1689 at Harvey Norman.

Idk what it's like with sales but usually you can go into JB Hi Fi and get them to cut you a deal - so you could end up with something cheaper :)

K888, I've never bargained with someone in my life. :P I wouldn't know where to begin.
