Been waiting for WWDC for a while and don't really know where to go from here. On one end I absolutely love what they did with the retina MBP, as I was looking for a lighter, more powerful machine, and the retina in my iPhone 4 continues to amaze me. HDMI, no optical, SSD etc. are awesome.
Unfortunately, the price is out of my range and quite frankly the fact that nothing is user-replaceable for $2100+is a very concerning. I got 5 years out of my 2007 MBP by doubling the Ram, and would have replaced the hard drive if I could of. (don't trust myself much with electronics work)
I hate the 13 inch MBP, think the 15 inch non-retina is too heavy, and am considering a 13" Air. Only "intensive" tasks I'd be using it for would be Photoshop CS6, Lightroom, and iMovie. I wouldn't mind playing skyrim on a PC, but its not really worth dropping 2 grand for.
Only thing is, I was holding out for a better display in the MBA. I've heard some negative things about it, and the resolution is the same as my 15 inch MBP. (although in a smaller screen)
Should I pick up a used one and just sell it once they either mark the 15 inch retina down or release a 13 inch air with a retina model? Any opinions? Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post!

That's a deal breaker for me.
