well...nice to find you sharing your wisdom!
A side question in this thread. am I correct that what makes a pro a pro
these days is its power? processing speed that sort of thing?
Oh and while I am at it, anyone remember the last mac laptop, pro or
whatever, that still had line in line out and headphone jacks? I know it
may go back a bit, but for me the presence of the jacks are important.

Hi,
The newer MacBook Pros aren't particularly heavy either. The older models with
the spinning drive were considerably more heavy, but these new Retina units
with SSD's are a lot nicer to cart around.

Thanks for all of your replies folks,
It is extremely hard to decide, since with the increase of ram and storage on
the air would bring the price of the air up to relatively become the same as
the pro. I liked the air because of their slim light weight form, however,
since I do not carry my laptop that often outside my home, I am not sure that
the light weight will be a determining factor.
I will have to struggle with making the decision for few days then just make a
pick.
Cheers,
Cris

This is clearly dependent on what your needs are, and the answer is different
based on who you ask.
I concur with those suggesting the Air. The single-port MacBook has a strong
probability of near-term obsolescence. Then again, the Air is probably due for
obsolescence by the same MacBook, so you’re buying for specs, not style. The
upside there is that the cost is lower, but the downside is you’ll still pay
more for bumping the specs all the way up, which I strongly suggest you do.
But, I was one of those who went from an Air to a Pro. Especially if you want
to do lots of virtualisation, the Pro really comes into its own. With a
quad-core processor and up to 16 GB of RAM, it really helps. If you only run
one OS at a time, though, an Air ought to be fine.
Don’t forget the Mac Mini. It’s a small-form-factor desktop computer. If
you’re only buying for portability, this is an option.
