I am trying to decide between what mac to get as a university student

I currently have an ipad and I feel that it is not reaching its needs as my course is heavily loaded with presentations etc.
I want to get a MacBook Pro 13" but I do not know whether I should get the retna or standard one.

Which mac would run better if I undertake these activities on it:
-word documents constantly 5+ hours 3-5 days a week
-power point presentations
-occasional movies
-occasional games ... Mainly league of legends
-lots of web browsing.. Multiple tabs open at a time
Etc


I understand that the processor is the only thing I cannot upgrade, and the dual core worries me for the occasional game, I am not sure how it will go as I'm new to mac. It is necessary to get the top end retna (I'm leaning towards the retna) over the lower end as they only have a minor difference in the processors I.e. 2.5 & 2.6 with a turbo boost of 3.1 and 3.1.

Thanks!!!

MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?

So I'm entering in my 3rd year of university, and it involves a transfer from a smaller campus to a large one. I already have a desktop for heavy duty work (games, movies, etc.) and I want a laptop that I can carry to classes with realative ease. I will be traveling alot as I have a full course load, so this laptop would be used mostly for going to and from classes or from my rental place to home. I have narrowed it down to either the 13" MacBook Air with the 256GB and the MacBook Pro 13", I just don't know which one would be better for dealing with traveling and taking intensive notes, etc. Any help would be great and thanks in advance!
