Click here <\/a>and tell your friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In September, I purchased the MacBook Air and it&#8217;s become my primary mobile machine right next to the iPhone. I assumed that the MacBook Air would become the equivalent of a netbook and be the machine that I took on trips or grabbed to take to a meeting. I had no idea that its size and performance would make it the perfect notebook. <a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2009\/09\/16\/apples-june-09-2-13ghz-macbook-air-review\/\">Here&#8217;s my review of the MacBook Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In late June of this year, after WWDC, I purchased a 17&#8243; MacBook Pro. The machine was excellent. The monitor was gorgeous and compared to many PC conterparts, it&#8217;s the thinnest and lightest 17&#8243; notebook I&#8217;ve ever used. In fact, it&#8217;s lighter and smaller than many 15.4&#8243; PC notebooks from Compaq and HP. The speed is epic and it was an amazing mobile powerhouse. <a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2009\/07\/29\/apples-june-09-unibody-17-macbook-pro-review\/\">Here&#8217;s my review of the MacBook Pro<\/a>. This was the case until I picked up the MBA and realized that I could deal with 50% less power in an extremely tiny package.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, I&#8217;ve decided to simply get an iMac to replace the MacBook Pro. I&#8217;ll get a faster machine with more screen real estate because the 17&#8243; MBP never leaves my desk anymore. It just sits there on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.griffintechnology.com\/products\/elevator\">Griffin Laptop Stand<\/a>. Why do I have a $3,000 laptop that I never take anywhere?<\/p>\n<p>With much deliberation, I&#8217;ve decided to sell my 17&#8243; MacBook Pro. The specs are below including photos.
