Sorry about your MBA. I vote for another MBA but I'm biased. Love mine. Best Mac ever. The portability is seductive!

Sorry to hear you got robbed. How did it happen and is there a chance you might get it back?

Your post does not say what you do with your MacBook. So it's difficult for us to tell you which one to buy.

I used everyday to look MRI and CT studies, i am medical resident doing the speciality of radiologist. I use like everyone else keynote office stuff nothing so hard like a Programmer or Designer.

Sometimes i used programs to do tractography it takes time but i am learning.

I vote for the rMBP. I couldn't go without the retina screen again.
