Anyone using Logos 4 on a 11.6" Macbook Air?

Hi all,

I saw Kevin Purcell's video of L4 Mac running on a 13" Air - and that was great, but has anyone tried it on the 11.6" model? I'd be getting the 1.6Ghz / 4GB RAM/128GB SSD model for portability sakes. I already have an iPad (for reading) and a 27" i7 iMac (for heavy computing) but this would be the machine I take to Bible Studies, etc. to use L4 on.

I am mostly concerned with screen real estate for L4, and less about performance since L4 is supposed to be getting faster, and the performance of L4 with SSD seems adequate for my mobile needs.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

I have Logos 4 in my MBA 11" 1.4 GHz, 2 Gig Ram and 128 Gig SSD. Performance is more than adequate (I cannot imagine more CPU or more RAM can make it any faster for Logos 4, I can now even have MS Word, Powerpoint, Safari opened at the same time with L4 without any slowdown), and portability of course is excellent, It is so good that I gave my iPad to my son. I think the MBA 11" is as good for reading as the iPad, as the MBA is so light and can stand by it self on a table, on the lap, on the chest (when I lie on my back) etc, while holding up an iPad is still a bit heavy after a while.

As for the screen, the fonts can get a bit small at times, but it is not an issue normally. I still typically have two vertical panes and the information pane open at the same time. The parsing info at the bottom of the screen can be too small, that's why I have the information pane up most of the time. Otherwise, holding the control key and then two finger up on the trackpad zoom in very nicely and extremely usable.

BTW, I also have a 15" MBP 2.4 GHz, 6 Gig of RAM, with a 256 Gig SSD and also a 24" Cinema display. While that extra screen estate is convenient, I don't find myself absolutely prefer that setup to the MBA. I am as satisfied with one as with the other.

Hope that helps,

Edwin
