[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The air only takes SSD hard drives, which are generally smaller/more expensive, so if you are planning to keep all your photos (and maybe music) on the air you might look at how much space they take up now.  Also it doesn't seem as though you can upgrade or replace anything in the air (like RAM or possibly the harddrive).

On the other hand, the retina display is for now at least only on the 15" macbook pro, which is a little large for a laptop (IMO).[/quote]

The MacBook Pro with Retina Display also only has SSD drives. It is basically a 15 inch MacBook Air with a better display. With iCloud it may not be as necessary to have everything on your drive anymore (though I am a traditionalist in that regard and still keep everything local).

I didn't realize that.  Leaving aside the privacy issues of storing everything in the cloud, is icloud really a viable backup for photos?  I thought it was only 5 gb or so, and anyone (still) using a digital camera will probably exceed that fairly quickly.[/quote]
