Hey guys this is my first post on MacRumors. I have been a long time lurker. I'm in the market for one of the new MacBooks. This is my first time ever buying a Mac. I am finally coming over from the dark side. I have been battling my inner self for the past 2 days whether to get a MBA 13" with 8gb of ram and 2.0 GHz i-7 processor or the new retina MBP base model with 16gb of ram.
I am not a hardcore gamer but would like a some what future proof device that can run some games especially Diablo 3. I will be sharing it with my wife and tend to travel a few times a year so portability is more important. The Intel HD 4000 graphics combined with the 2.0 Ghz i-7 processor in the 13" MBA seems like it should be able to handle Diablo 3 fairly well No?
Have any of you tried it out yet? Does the MBA get too hot if played too long?
If so let us know how she is running. Thank you.
