I need:
-Something that I can carry around easily
-Can perform fast under heavy usage
-I can put on bed without worrying I'd blocked the fan, or simply wouldn't heat.
-Something that I wouldn't need to replace for at least five years.
+I use Photoshop and watch a lot of movies.
The MBA that I consider: 13" i7 8GB 128GB
The rMBP that I consider: 13", the lowest end
My concerns about MBA:
-Retina
-Would it be crushed under heavy CPU usage?
My concerns about rMBP:
-Would an i5, even if the best, take me through five years?
-Battery life
-Heaviness
-I heard it heats up
-Its fans aren't at the rear = need to be careful not to block them
One more thing, maybe I could get a 256GB one if I got a MBA
In that case, storage is a concern for rMBP as well.
Nonetheless, I'm undecided. Which do you think I should be getting?
