I'm looking to get my first macbook in a week or two and am on the fence between the 11 inch and 13 inch MBA's. I have been using my girlfriends 2010 MBP and am very much used to the positioning of of the keyboard and trackpad. I had read online and seen in pictures that the 11 inch is more cramped then the 13" so i was worried i will not like the keyboard. Sucks I havent had time to see an air in person since the closest mac store is 2 hours away.
I wanted the i7 and 8gb ram because I will probably push the air to its limits. I will be doing some autocad for use with my departments cnc machine as well as lots of programing with java, c, c++, etc. I like to play around with photoshop but nothing too serious and really just want to play diablo, minecraft, cod, and left 4 dead. The reason I say i5 13 inch air is because if im alread at 1630$ with the i7 i mise well go for the rMBP.
I would love to have my own MBP but being as the new rMBP seems to be the only good option right now and I dont know if I feel comfortable shelling out the 2100$ for it (even though i think it would be worth it) since ill be spending all my summer savings.
So maybe someone can help me decide which MB i should buy.
Thank you very much, Ricky
