So I am in the market to buy a new laptop. I'll be moving away from a desktop so its going to be my first laptop. I think I am at a point in time where I don't really need a desktop. The only reason I did get a desktop years back was cause of school work and that I was mostly a PC gamer. But my PC specs are so out dated that its been a long time since I could get any of the recent releases to play on my PC. Also helped by the fact that I've moved to console gaming I've found no need for a "gaming PC". I don't even see myself ever returning to PC gaming so my decision has just been made easier.
I am still looking about but I would really like to get either a MacBook Air or a Pro and I was hoping folks more knowledgeable about them would help me out here. I don't really work in tech nor do I plan on having a career involving graphic designing, editing or art. I'll be heading for university in a year or two and am mostly looking at either of them for mostly casual use - browsing the web, working on assignments, researching, and the off chance of a game here and there maybe Skyrim, World of Warcraft or Hearthstone.
I am actually leaning towards the 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display since its only a couple hundred more than the basic MacBook Air. Also is there a big difference between the 13" and the 15" cause its almost a $500 difference and close to a $1000 if you get the higher end 15" with Retina Display.
What do you folks suggest?
