I have two computers:
2011 iMac 27" base (1 TB HDD, 12 gb ram, etc)
2011 Macbook Air 13" base
I'm considering selling both and replacing them with one computer:
2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15" Base
Advantages:
Consolidation
Newer chipset (faster?)
USB 3.0
Gorgeous, high res screen with option to add an external monitor
Better GPU then both iMac (?) and Air
Larger SSD than Air
Disadvantages:
No large, beautiful 27" screen
Lose potability of Air
No DVD drive
I use my computer for:
Fairly heavy Lightroom image editing (currently with multiple USB 2.0 external drives). RAW files, scanned TIF files (50-100 mb), etc.
Web browsing, iTunes, etc
Very occasional video editing
Occasional gaming
Thoughts? Why wouldn't I do this?
