[QUOTE="Corrosive, post: 1426797, member: 14950"] It really depends on how you plan to use it. As far as witch is better... there is no clear winner. I see it like this... If you are very mobile and plan to take it everywhere you go, then the air may suit you better. If you plan to be stationary more and really need the performance of the quad core, then the retina would be better. People may argue that the rMBP is thin, like the air... sure, it is, but its still a big machine. I carry mine around with me, but there is a night and day difference in carrying it and the air. For a majority of the people who use computers, the air will have plenty of power, so really, think long and hard if you can justify the extra grand for the 2 extra cores. Another factor to consider is that smaller retina display machines are on the horizon, so if you are really in no absolute rush, you may want to hold off a few months. [/QUOTE]
