Who's upgrading to rMBP since there is no rMBA?
I was hoping to upgrade my 2012 MBA with rMBA but since there is no rMBA should i upgrade to 13" rMBP? or should i wait for refresh rMBP?
Thanks
I suspect the rMBP will see an update within a month. However, that's only a guess. The question is how long do you want to wait before ordering a rMBP?Who's upgrading to rMBP since there is no rMBA?

Why are there so many people upset over a non retina display.
The MBA has a nice display. Why is everyone sour grapes about no Retina display in the Airs this year? It is probably one of the least important upgrades for those people who actually need a MBA (portable user).
Can we stop with all this whining, it makes you all look like entitled children. Huge increases in battery life, 2x more SSD storage and a wireless network card speed bump isnt enough to make you happy, nothing ever will.
I eBay'd my rMBP right before WWDC, hoping for Haswell rMBPs. Alas, I told myself I'd get whatever Haswell was released, so I'm debating base config 11- or 13-inch MBAs leaning toward the 13-inch.
Who's Upgrading to Retina MBP since there is no rMBA?
Have to agree here. you're talking about 11/13'' screen size. What's the point of having higher resolution at that screen size? None whatsoever. It still supports higher resolution when hooked up to an external monitor. I've had 2009 13'' MBP until now and not once did I think the resolution was too low. I will be getting a new MBA because of it's portability and superb battery life. I know I don't need any higher resolution and power as I have a desktop with a 30'' monitor sitting at home.
The only reason one should ever pick MBP over MBA is because you want that power to do some productive work, may it be some sort of graphic designing, programming, rendering, etc. If you want to play light gaming with it, it may be another reason for you to choose 15'' MBP over MBA. Even 13'' MBP won't give you any better gaming performance than MBA. It's still sitting on Intel HD Graphics 4000.
So in my opinion, should really think about what you're using the computer for. For regular usage like schooling(MS word, PPT, Excel, Youtube, web surfing) MBA has the perfect balance of price (at least compare to MBPs), portability, battery, and performance.
All you guys who can't see the advantage of a retina display, even at 11", seriously need your eyes tested.
So disappointed MBA hasnt gone retina. Mine will get sold. Vaio Pro 11 next.

Try using an rMBP for a week and then state your case
13" rMBP display is leaps and bounds better than the MBA displays ... I have both. If you're going to be staring at the screen for long hours the retina is worth it FOR SURE!
Least important upgrade? No way. The screen is very important, it's what you're looking at all day..

You might want to reconsider on the Vaio Pro ... It's a joke.

No, you shouldn't. As the 13" rMBP is just about 10% more powerful than the MBA with high configuration, you will be better off getting the 15" rMBP.
Check out the refurbished one which is just $1599.

Grove, what about a $1600 rMBP 15" (base spec) vs. the premium fully loaded 2013 MBA 13" ($1800)?
Of course size is a factor, but the horsepower to $ ratio seems better on the 15".
