New MBP retina 13" vs New MBA 13"

[kritpol]

Hello

I would like to consult you guy. I cannot make a decision for buying New MBP retina 13 inch. (2.7 GHz, 8 Gb of ram...) and New MBA 13 inch. (upgrade to 8 Gb ram)

Since, the price in only 120 USD different in my country and the weight is slightly different; 200 grams I think.

So, do you guy have any idea which one should I choose.

Thank you for answers in advance

Pro every day of the week.
If you want small and light, go macbook rather than MBA.

rMBP is the way to go. The increased power and better screen are really worth it, unless the marginal increased portability of the MBA is extremely important to you.

No contest Retina, better machine by far, unless you absolutely need the maximum time on battery, personally I can stretch to 8-10 hours on my own 2.8 Retina.

The MBA gives you one thing imo.

Better battery

The MBP has a better CPU/GPU, screen and more ports. I think the rMBP is a better all around machine.

And of course it is a fair bit cheaper for entry level...
