"Would you buy a MacBook Air after the latest MacBook Pro update?" I can't see why anyone has bought a 13" MBA since the first retina screen was announced 2+ y

  Pixel art is a disaster on Retina. It's rare but I could see an indie gamer/game programmer going for the bigger pixels of the Air. I'm sure there are other applications that also don't translate well.

    It's true, there are some issues, but Retina is amazing for the day to day. Being able to see the pixels that constitute a glyph or image has become distasteful to me.

    Not if you run your retina display in it's native resolution, which I do (2880x1800 and everything is tiny as hell!)

  As the owner of a 2012 Air, I don't see why would I upgrade to the Retina Pro. Heavier(yes, marginally,but still, and no, half a pound is not non-noticable), and the retina screen is a disaster from a usability perspective. The only modes which work well are either native res(which makes everything way too small) or half res, which means you end up with less usable space than on the Air. Anything in between is horrible thanks to blur(I have a uni-issued 15" Retina,and would not want to have that effect on my Air,thank you very much). I don't think I will ever upgrade to the 13" Retina, unless something happens that I will absolutely need the faster cpu, but right now, I am planning on updating to the 2013 Air model, Retina Pro is not even something I would consider.
