    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.

  • Basically it depends on how u're gonna use it. Macbook air is light, and powerful enough for your daily life i.e. working or browsing the internet. However if you're looking for better performance in display, retina is definitely the better choice.

  • It depends on what you use the Mac for , for example if you use it for Photo editing The Retina Display would be best. For an iPad mini i would recommend it if you use it on-the-go. It is always you're decision. These are my suggestions.
