MacBook or Air for Internet Only use?

Jan 14, 2009

I need a computer for internet only use - surfing and email only. Should I get a MacBook or a Macbook Air? I was leaning toward the 2.4 Macbook, but I keep reading about how BAD the video quality and glossy screen is. I read that the MacBook Air has a better screen than the MacBook, and the gloss is not as bad.

I don't want to get one of the old machines, and I don't want to go MacBook Pro. So what are your suggestions on this issue?

Kevin
