When is the new Macbook Pro coming out? I've been researching everywhere but there's not date for the non-Retina. This is relevant because based on this article, I'd be more apt to buy the Air now. For web development, medium resolution photo manipulation on photoshop, and light video editing, is the Air good enough?


IMO, Retina is mostly useful if your job is creating Retina enabled assets for iOS devices. Personally I would recommend a maxed out air over a MBP. I do iOS development, web development and music production on a 3 year old MBA. That said, I was disappointed there wasn't a retina MBA. It may be worth waiting to see if the fabled MBA-looking MBP comes out at the end of the year.


I have a fully loaded 2012 Air and happily do all those things on it.
