I'm in the same boat (as hinted above). Haven't come to a conclusion myself (today leaning MBPwR, yesterday 13" air), but I guess it just comes down to weight v. print-like text/sharp graphics (if size/res/price aren't determinates). Neither seems a minor trait and either choice a win.

Before the next half season starts, here's BB so far summed up in 9 minutes.

Haven't received yet, but great to know.

Should anyone be looking for some unusual bitters, Bitters, Old Men has a couple three packs over at Fab.

Happy Father's Day to everyone else. Spent the day on a beach with extended family here.

I hope you're right. I know there are differences between the Pro and Air lines (quad v. dual processors, screen sizes - thus 'retina' requirements, etc.), but I wonder how long and what battery magic will be required to bring retina to the Airs... while keeping them at least their current weights, sizes, and bat life. Or do they forgo retina and go even lighter and longer? An 11" Air with retina or 10 hours of life?

Desk has been sacrificed to become a changing station, but still trying to decide between an air and this. Don't need the power (or want the weight), but can screen lust be conquered?

Popped into an Apple store today. Damn, that MBPwR screen is nice... and so at every resolution (reportedly doubled and then scaled). Previously wondered is non-ideal settings would be a step back. No. Can see jumping between settings throughout the day as needed (long text reading v. application windows and max real estate, etc.). I suppose if you already had a new iPad (I don't), you could use it when you need this crispness for at least the text, but after five minutes it's hard for me to believe anyone who had one of these could easily go back. I didn't spend any time looking for scaled apps that reportedly look poor, but reading was such a joy on NYTimes, etc.
