I understand that you need it for mobility but how "mobile" do you need to be? My MB comes with me to school all the time and is more than mobile for my needs.My concern is that you may be thinking that the MBA is somehow inherently 10x more "mobile" than an MB which isn't really true. As an owner of an MB, I can tell you that they aren't that large. If I were you, I would suggest that you go to an Apple Store and take a look at both the MBA and the MacBook (Pro). Decide for yourself whether or not the thin form factor of the MBA is that much better than the MB which is cheaper, is better equipped and isn't all that large.
