What Do I Do With My Two Notebooks?

Hey guys I am seeking advice as to what to do with my laptops. I have a Sager NP8130 with all the usual components, and the 6950m graphics card, I love it.

But recently a friend sold my his 2011 11" Macbook Air for very cheap, and I love this too.

The problem is I don't see the logic in having two laptops. I have my desktop that I game on, and use most of the time.

What should I do? What one should I sell?

I was thinking of selling both and then buying a Macbook Pro and an Ipad.

Thanks for all the advice,

 

I would sell the sager and keep the mba 11

hardly see the purpose of the ipad though.

and it should be either teh 6970m or 6990m

 

Whoops, my bad, yes it is the 6970m.

And thats what I was thinking, but then if I sold both and got a Macbook Pro, I would have more power on the go.

 

And why would you need power on the go? you already have a desktop

Sincerely I would simply use a notebook and be done.

 

I say smash them together until one goes bananas and keep the winner! problem solved!

 

poor mba is going to lose

 

Not sure, I once saw a MBA ending up under a truck wheels and while it got twisted and bent - it still worked, lol

 

Okay, I think I am going to sell the Sager, and then use the money to upgrade my desktop. And If I feel like I need something with a bigger screen or a little more power when I travel, then I'll upgrade to a MBP.

At the moment I just feel like I have two desktops, cuz I never take my Sager anywhere, and I like Apples build quality much more.

Thanks for the help.

 

Oh, one last thing, how much could I sell my Sager for?

you could try 1k

 

I would look into getting an e-gpu with your macbook air. It would have to stay in one place, but would give you plenty of power to perform at a greater level than your Sager.

 

You could also sell both for $1k each and put them towards a new notebook purchase. $2000 would likely get you close enough to whatever you want right now whether it is a RMBP or something else.

 

your statement is kinda weird. you say your thinking of getting rid of the sager because its so powerful it feels like you have 2 desktops. then you say your thinking of selling both the air and the sager because you want more power in a macbook pro.

the retina macbook pro is a sweet piece of hardware. I see people selling all kinds of their stuff just to try and get one. if the retina is whats really on your mind sell em both and go for it. its not like your getting something questionable or crappy.

I considered a retina myself but I just purchased a cintiq 21ux-dtk so getting a retina after that would have been ridiculous.

 

The sager's going to have a specific purpose. Powerful GPU on the go. If you no longer need that then the MBA is the portable winner. It's already very capable minus GPU intensive tasks.
