The retina Macbook Pro would be a good choice, but I haven't seen a single review that didn't mention that the machine gets choppy even during web browsing. Apple should have never released a retina Macbook with only integrated graphics. It's a real shame because I really wanted a retina machine that was roughly the size and weight of a Macbook Air, but not if it struggles to run even the most basic of programs.

Now they're the most awesome portable notebook you can buy. :) The v2 of a 13" rMBP might be the perfect laptop. :)
- phaus 14y agoYea, I know that it's technically a V1 for the 13", but you would think that Apple would have noticed that the discrete graphics on the larger model (which has only a slightly higher resolution) were barely getting the job done as it was. I have high hopes for the next version, I'm hoping that they can work out the performance issues and at the same time implement retina screens into the actual Macbook Air product line.
