I have a 2011 13' MBP that I lug to work everyday in my briefcase. Getting tiring of it especially having to bring my AC adaptor everywhere (get 4-5hr battery life).

Don't do too much computer intensive work, except use online Electronic Medical Record software, PowerPoint, and VMware fusion to run windows to access hospital VPN for X-rays, etc.

Trying to decide between the extra portability of a maxed out 13' MBA (0.5 lbs less, extra 2-3 hr battery life) vs improved specs on new MBP (faster processor, potentially more RAM, and of course the improved screen).

Any advice on which is the more suitable machine?
