Hi!
I'm on the fence whether or not I should upgrade. I'm currently using my rMBP from early 2015, i7, 16gb of RAM, 512gb. Here's what I use my MBP for:
-Parallels (older versions of Mac OS X and Windows)
-QEMU (older versions of Mac OS X and classic Mac OS)
-Internet browsing, Netflix
-Microsoft Word very occasionally
-Light gaming using OpenEMU
-Photos organization/light edits using Photos.app
If I were to upgrade to the MBA, I'd go for the i7, 16gb of RAM, and 1TB of SSD space.
Would the processing power (i7) be better/a substantial upgrade from my current rMBP? Would you recommend I get the spec'd out MBA based on my usage above, or would I be better off waiting until the new 13'/14' rMBP this spring/summer (if one comes)?
Thanks in advance!
