But I bet it’s not. I’m desperate to get a much smaller, much lighter than my MacBook Pro travel computer. A netbook for Apple. But Apple doesn’t make a netbook, just the Mac Air which costs well over $1000. Do you know of any $400 netbook that is EASILY and EFFICIENTLY adapted to Apple. Word Files and Final Draft Files. Easily downloaded, say, through the USB port so I could go back and forth between the travel netbook and the bigger MacBook Pro or a desktop. Help! I’m tired of lugging this thing around. Any ideas?
