Just bought rMBP - should i keep 13" MBA or get 11" MBA...

[i.love.caffeine]

I have a macbook pro retina on the way (later this week)

I currently have a 13" MBA (2010) - should I keep this computer, or swap it out for an 11" MBA. any advice?

I am just out of school and wouldn't mind a more portable computer as i bring my mba with me everywhere...

thanks!

Well, you have a workhorse: rMBP, so I'd say stick with the MBA you have at least until it starts to show signs of age. Just use the 13" MBA for its portability for now.

I was in the same position. Going from the rMBP to the 11" seemed like a real drastic change, took my eyes a while to adjust to the smaller fonts/resolution. The difference wasn't as much with the 13".

Also, even though I love my rMBP I still use my Air quite a bit and if you're going to spend any hours on the Air you may find the 13" display much better, I did.

That doesn't take away from the excellent size of the 11", it's a tough call, my determination was I spend more time staring at the Air's display than I do marveling over it's small size so I went for the 13".

I would sell them both and go for an ipad3 or nothing at all. I am using the rMBP and right now its the only thing I need. Although I am contemplating a tablet.
