        @avantgame I have a Macbook pro and I am quite happy with it. Air is too thin.. the retina helps a lot when editing photos or designing!

        @avantgame with as much as you travel, I'd say Air. It's changed my life, travel-wise. So incredibly light.

        @avantgame What you're willing to spend. The pro can be packed to be relevant longer. Remember with both, once bought, no upgrade.

        @avantgame If HD space important, go with Pro. You're a gamer, so make sure RAM & chip more than needed today. If all = go w/lighter Air.

        @avantgame screen on the 15" rMBP is darker / tinted. 13" rMBP display is killer. Air travels super well. Great feel. Great display.
