About to buy - Feedback requested


good afternoon,

i’ve been considering migration 17” macbook pro 11” macbook air , thunderbolt display. versatility of setup has great appeal me , i’ve done fair amount of research on it. before pull trigger, hoping feedback make sure on list “should” play , i’m not making unforeseen blunders in selection.

here i’ve got in mind.

hope doesn’t come off “loooook @ me! i’m buyin’ stuff!” thread. genuinely want make sure haven’t chosen that’s not going work, or might cause problems. i’ve heard people complain wireless keyboards/mice not waking mbas sleep mode when plugged tbd in clamshell mode. think i’ll run issue configuration?

i’m kind of excited. contemplating waiting refresh whenever comes around, found buyer mbp , though have windows desktop can use time being, don’t want wait around 4-6 months new models. , aside new graphics chipset potentially alleviating whatever small semblance of animation lag exists tbd, current model perfect needs.

other advice recommendations or forebodings?

 

just few things. looks picture on apple refub of 13" not 11". don't disappointed if computer not have memory card reader.

mouse , keyboard... unless going use of functionality in mouse suggest bluetooth mighty mouse , keyboard myself, saves usb port. huge fan of trackpad, if doing editing/gaming mouse needed.

experience logitech has worked apple products though don't think should find issue those. cannot speak sound card.

hd looking @ has few fw connections air not. save $$ getting 1 utilizes usb 2.0 if going sole computer using it.
