Looking to get a secondary computer that I don't really need. I currently have a mid-2012 rMBP 15" as my primary computer. I was considering the new MacBook but it's just so darned expensive for something with such little power.
I've been eyeing the 13" MBA. Do you guys think it's worth it to get one with the new MacBook out now? Is it worth not going retina?
I use an 11" first gen MBA base at work occasionally, and the screen isn't TOO bad, but the retina is so much better.
Worth spending the extra money on the rMB, getting the extra horsepower with the MBA or skipping it all and waiting until next year?
Use case: I'm a journalist and this will probably become my primary work computer. I do some YouTube video, and would use this device to edit small videos (no longer than 15-20 mins) on the road, but would use my rMBP at home.
Next, if I go MBA, I can get a new 2014 with a 256gb SSD for cheaper than a 2015 with a 128gb SSD. Is the difference between the 2014 and the 2015 worth spending the extra money?
Short version: Is it worth getting a 13" MBA versus a rMB, and if so, should I get the 2014 with more memory or the 2015 with less?
