I have a MBA 11inch 2012 base model which was my first ever mac. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 2013 model?
Had an 11 just got a 13... easily the best laptop I've owned in my 20 years of owning laptops. There is a reason it's the best selling laptop in its class. Buy it yesterday.

Not in my opinion.
This laptop hands down is the best MBA i've ever used. Between the new PCIe SSD and HD 5000 graphics chip it is incredible compared to the last generation. I picked it over the MBP because of those two reasons. The battery lasts me just over 12 ours when doing general computing, about 2 hours when gaming. It never gets hot unless i'm gaming either.
Isn't that the truth! One less item to item to stow. My Air lasts through the entire day.
What sort of gaming are you doing?
That as the hardest thing to do - leave the charger at home... for the first few times. Now it never goes anywhere with me, and I just charge the MacBook Air at home when I remember.
That's sort of funny because I too am sort of starting to charge my Air as if it were an iPad. Off the charger all day, on the charger as I sleep.
