What would you pick if you had to choose between the newly announced MacBook Air 13" 128Gb or the old retina MacBook Pro 13" 128Gb.
The Pro would only cost €60 more.
I'm strongly leaning toward the Pro but I would really appreciate some other opinions as well.

Thanks
Cal
 
Thanks guys, the only reason I am even considering the Air is the battery life.
The official figures are 12 hrs for the Air vs 9 hrs for the Pro.
If they stay like that for a long time I would definitely buy the Pro, but I'm a little scared that the battery life will deteroriate and I really need at least 6 hours. That's kinda the reason I'm buying a Macbook.
If anyone could share their experience regarding the battery life of either MacBook that would help me out a lot :)

Thanks Cal

The Air will definitely get better battery life, but both will easily get more than 6 hours of usage for the foreseeable future. I would definitely go with the Pro unless battery life is a priority for you.
