[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1553672, member: 56379"] Thanks a bunch...that helps a lot!:) Here's the deal with the two new laptops you listed (both with 8gig of ram): - The MBA has significantly better cpu benchmark scores than the MBP (7097 vs. 5482) - The MBP has the newer Intel Iris 5100 graphics...where as the MBA has the older Intel HD Graphics 5000. - The MBP has a retina display (MBA does not). Thus looking at these two models: - If graphics performance and the retina display are more important...then get the MBP. - If cpu speed (benchmark scores) and weight are more important...then get the MBA. Definitely a personal choice.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
