I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago but would like to get a second opinion now that people have had a chance to play around with and review the rMBP.
I have two configurations and would like to know what you recommend.
Macbook Air "13
>256SSD
>8GB RAM
>1440 x 900
>2.0 i7 dual core
>~ 1600 USD
Macbook Pro Retina "15
>256SSD
>8GB RAM
>2880 x 1800
>2.3 i7 quad core
>~ 2000 USD
With the spec bump in the Air from upgrades the two machines have similar specs and make them a little bit more equal.
After seeing them in store and comparing for a while I am leaning towards the Retina. The weigh factor is negligible and won't affect my decision. I am going to college for CompSci and expect to do coding, writing, playing with PS and browsing the web. I don't game much BTW.
