Hi Wendy, I hope you're doing well. I'm fairly new to the MacWorld as well, however, I have quite a bit of experience working on them. I recently bought a MacBook Pro for the 14 inch display (non-retina display) with a 1 TB hard drive and eight gigs of RAM and it is absolutely wonderful. I've had It for nearly 6 months already and haven't noticed one single slowdown. I personally prefer the old style of RAM and ROM versus flash memory, which you will get on a MacBook air. The MacBook Pro also has a CD-ROM drive, which the MacBook Air will not. While most programs are electronic these days, There are some that still come on CD-ROM. And if you have a collection of DVDs, and would like to watch them on your computer, you would have to purchase an extra DVD drive to watch them on a MacBook air. I hope all this information helps, please feel free to write me off list if you have any other questions. Randy
