    so i was trying to compare the 2 versions of 13" pro - with the retina version... flash drive is 128 gb on same price point as the 750 gb drive and i7 at $1499. May use an external 2TB drive for $130. Air with 256 gb, 8 gb ram (add $100), and bumped to 1.7 mghz (add $150) comes to $1549. I'm a little torn now... heart says Air, logic saying non retina 13" - or go for the retina 256 flash for a few hundred more. Thanks for your insight. Ideaist...read the review...thanks. May go to Peach Mac up the street and get a hands on experience... wonder if they would allow a test drive of CS6 on the Air?

    • 128GB is not enough, you need like 20-30gb just for virtual memoryspot13
    • I have the MBP Retina with 256Gb and I wish I got the 512Gb cause it's barely enoughspot13
    • I have 128GB SSD, but I store all of my work on an external HD. Works for me just fine.nocomply
