It depends on how you intend to use it.

Generally speaking, if you need something on the go for office, school or travel and will use it for word processing and internet connectivity with minimal technical work such such as video, audio and graphics editing, the macbook air is best for you especially the upgraded 11". Its small enough to fit anywhere and powerful enough to run most applications.

If you intend to use your computer for video, audio and graphics editing or if you require engineering and medical applications, or in any case requires you to handle large memory space, then perhaps the 13" retina is for you. It doesn't have the DVD slot though but when was the last time you popped a cd into your computer? you can always use a USB dongle as alternative or you can get the slim DVD USB device.

The good thing about the 13" retina is that its slim enough to be on the go and powerful enough to handle most technical applications. The classic 13" with dvd is quite heavy and monstrous when it comes to being mobile. However, its a lot cheaper.

The Ipad Charger is 10 Watts the Iphone Charger is 5 Watts.
This means that the IPAD charger will charge 2X faster at 2 Amps vs 1 Amp for the Iphone Charger. Using a computer or Laptop is 2.5 Watts aka .5 Amp max.

All Work for Iphone or Ipad But the 10 Watts will charge the Ipad Faster.

The iPad mini does not feature a retina display unfortunately. Retina displays use more power than normal resolution screens (the reason the iPad 3 gets so warm) - so the mini would have had reduced battery life or bigger batteries that would have made the tablet thicker and heavier if it had a retina display.
Hopefully the iPad mini 2 will address this disappointing omission.

No, the Microsoft office suite is not available for iPad. However, Apple does offer the iWork suite on iPad. This includes pages, numbers, and keynote, and is compatible with Microsoft office documents. They are great, highly recommended apps, each sold for $9.99 in the App Store.

Hi,

Currently, there is no Ms Office for iPad yet. But if you need to view, modify and share your Ms Office files, you can do it on iPad using app developed by Apple.

Use Pages for Ms Word files, use Keynote for Power Point files, use Numbers for Excel files. However, from my experience, you will face some minor alignment run and font changes.

Buy the app for USD9.99 for each app from App store right from your iPad.

The iPhone charger will charge an iPad but at about half the rate of the charger that is supplied with the iPad. Lithium ion battery charging is managed inside of the device (i.e.iPad or iPhone) based on the state of charge and the voltage profile during charge.

Think of the following analogy ...

If you are filling identical buckets with two different hoses, one hose with twice the rate of flow as the of the other hose. The bucket being filled by the hose with the higher flow rate would fill twice as fast as the one being filled with the hose with the lesser flow rate. Both hoses have automatic shut off mechanisms that keep the buckets from overflowing.

The same basic analogy holds true with the two different chargers. The battery management circuitry inside of your iPhone or iPad are the automatic shutoff to keep the battery from being damaged by overcharging. Since the iPhone charger has about half the maximum charge current capability as that of the iPad charger, it will take about twice the time to charge an iPad.

I opted for the 32gb model. I have the 64gb iPhone 4s and I have never even come close to filling it up. I have 20 movies, my entire iTunes library (but set to sync at 128 kbps) and tons of apps and I still have 11 gigs to play with. The whole point is to use iTunes to keep your content fresh so you don't leave the same old movies on the device at the same time, you sync what you want. Plus you get 5 gigs additional in the cloud so really your 32 gig is 37 gigs. I think you should save the extra $100 and invest in a nice case, an extra charging cable and whatever else you need. All just my opinion but buy what you want :)
