I am looking to jump into iOS development for that I am planning to purchase my very first Mac. MacBook Pro retina 13" is not affordable for me at the moment so, after going through ebay and some other local stores, I am confused between the Apple Macbook Pro Pre retina version and the Base Macbook air 13" model. The laptop I am going to buy will be my primary machine for the next 2-3 years .I plan to run most of Adobe programs like Photoshop and After effects e.t.c . along with mid - heavy programming . I will also hook up the laptop to an external 24 inch display when at my desk . Which one should I choose ? Any other better options ?

The MacBook Pro The MacBook Air
