I own a 15" retina Macbook Pro, 13" non retina Macbook Pro and a 13" Air... should I purchase a 11" Macbook Air, 12" Retina Macbook and a 13" Retina Macbook Pro to have all the current Apple laptops?

Yes, and then post from a cardboard box on McDonalds WiFi about how well your collection is turning out.

If you want to? Seriously though, why would you want to?

Hmmm... to own all the current laptops. But is it worth it?

What do you use them for? I could make a case for owning 2 or 3 Macs, but not all of the portables because there is quite a bit of overlap functionality wise. Especially between the retina MacBook and the MacBook Air.

13" non retina Macbook Pro (Aperture)
15" retina (Photoshop)
13" Macbook Air (web browsing)

I prefer Apple's portables for some reason.

What Macbook should I get next?

Personally, I'd go with a 15" rMBP and a 12" rMB, and call it good. The 15" model is perfectly capable of performing all 3 of those tasks, but the 12" rMB would be nice and portable.

Hmmmm... I'll probably get the 12" retina Macbook next year. :) Then at that point I wouldn't own the 11" Air and the 13" retina Macbook Pro but I guess it doesn't really matter

This +1, that is all you need so you have one powerful machine to do heavy duty stuff and then ultra portable machine to use on the go.
