The author does not do a fair comparison in price... The Air costs $1299 for 256 Gb SSD with ~12 hours battery life the 13-in Pro is $1299 with 128 GB flash and ~9 hours of battery life. The pro's advantage is Retina display and better processor, but let's get honest, who needs more than a dual core 1.3 GHz for most stuff? The battery life is worth the decrease.
