Hi there,

Super indecisive about which Mac book i should get.
It's between Macbook Air 13inch 128GB or Macbook Pro 13 inch 128GB.
I've read all the review, but still can't decide hmm!
Any Macbook Air or Macbook Pro users can advice? dry.gif

Appreciate it, Thank You!

Go for the Macbook Pro Retina display. The display is worth the extra.

If your budget is not an issue, go for higher storage.

mbp with retina display would be the obvious choice here. The display ratio and quality is much better between the two. Furthermore the difference in weight is non-issue between the two.

Given that we haven't seen a significant update on the MacBook lineup during WWDC 2016, there's a likelihood that the update will come in the new few months, probably during the next Apple event.

So if I were you, I'll wait till it comes.

like the portability but dislike the screen and bezel.

MacBook Pro is great but quite heavy for me even for retina version

Definitely go for the Macbook Pro Retina display. If got budget, go for the 256GB storage, the 128GB storage is not enough. (from experience)

Dun waste money on 128gb. It is a waste of time.

Last 2 years I bought MBPr 13". After using it for 3 months I sold it (just want to try mac).

Recently I bought MBA 13 (8Gb with 256GB SSD), because I need a lightweight device. I don't feel comfortable resting my palm too long on MBPr due to their sharp edge on wrist.

Retina is good, but only for those applications that support it (yeah, tried retinizer too).

Well, it's up to your main preference and priority. Last time I ditched MBA13 due to lack of 8GB and PCIe based SSD.

MacBook Pro is the more sensible choice. However do get the highest RAM and SSD, it will greatly benefit you in the long run. My rmbp is 2 years old and I am loving itto bits. I have not touched a PC for a loong time. Only gripe would be the games which is very expensive for a mac and also not much choice, but I am ok with that as i use it mainly for my work.
