With that pattern of use (similar to mine!) if you haven't decided already, I'd strongly recommend the 11", it's utterly sensational for just 'throwing around'!

Personally the only thing holding me back is the 4 hour or so battery life. I need something that's going to last all day.
what you want then is a 17" MacBook Pro! The behemoth actually sips power quite well and it can ramp up power when needed!
seriously, if you want good battery life, any of the pros will do and the 13" air will do as well, same 7 hour battery life across all current apple notebooks aside from the 11" air.

Yea I know, that's why I'm aiming for the 13 inch MBP right now.... I would get something better but as a college student, I just don't have the funds for that
I tend to get more attention in Starbucks now with my 13" MBA than my old 10" Samsung NC10.
This is usually because people look over and start laughing at the decal I have on it with a stickman holding up the apple then conversation sparks with how 'amusing' it is

Yes, the 2013 MBA is a beautiful beast.
I think folks that scorn people for buying Macs for their beauty are simply jealous as they can't seem to be able to do the same. It's like buying diamonds, you get those people that laugh at others because they can't get themselves to pay that much for a rock, a beautiful rock. Meh, you can't fight bad taste.
That being said, I did wait until the MBA was capable enough for my needs. I could not say no to 12 hour battery and noiseless fan.

Gone are the days when my family and friends would habitually huddle around my MBA on a cold autumn night, silently weeping at its beauty. These are common as dirt (good thing)! No more compliments for my lavish metal, it also complains I don't look at it in the same way, nip/tuck please good Tim
