I've been waiting for the new Airs, but now that they're out, some great deals can be had on the 2012 Pros w/retina because the 2013s are coming with slightly faster (0.1ghz) processors.
I priced a 13" Air with 512 SSD/8gb/1.7ghz i5 for $1849.00 and was ready ro pull the trigger.
Now here comes B&H selling the 13" Pro w/Retina/512 SSD/8gb/2.9ghz i7 for the same $1849.00.
Am I missing something or is this a no-brainer in favor of the Pro w/retina and 2.9 i7? I'm never unplugged for more than two hours so I don't care about the 12-hr battery life of the Air and the 10oz weight difference wont bother me at all.
Again, Am I missing something? Some great advantage to the Air I'm not seeing? Bothewith 8gb ram and 512 SSD. Pro with much faster processor and retina.
