I've decided on getting a MacBook Air. My MacBook is now 4 years 2 months old. It needed a new logic board back in July. I wasn't prepared to buy a new machine back then because I had never really gave it much thought as my MacBook was going strong. It just died out of the blue.
If it was to die on me today then I'd order the 13" i5/8GB/128GB Air. I'm just going to keep my eye on what Apple offers so that I'm prepared if this MacBook breaks down. It's still great for my uses (internet, watching movies, listening to music, word processing and light gaming) and can get ~3-4 hours out of it depending on settings/usage.
I'd like a retina display but that's going to cost more and drain more battery. Should I wait for a retina display, how close do you think they are to putting one in the Air? Also, is it likely that the NEXT Air will use Haswell CPU's?
I just need some advice. Again, my MacBook is running fine (knock on wood) at the moment and I hope to get some more time out of it while I save up for a MacBook Air. I'm looking at buying the next release, assuming it comes out June or later.
