The reply functionality is messed up on this forum. In any case, I will be the first in line for one of these new 13" machines. Whoohoo! I will give my old one away to my little brother or my nephew.
If they add retina to the air- what is the benefit to the rMBP?
People keep talking about retina for the air- I don't think we see it ever. I think it gets discontinued or they combine before that happens
There is NO WAY Apple discontinues the Air. That is the future of notebooks, like it or not. I would say that about the MBPs before I would the Air's. The Airs will be retina when the battery life and performance is within whatever standard Apple decides. That day is coming. Haswell may be the key to this happening.
Personally, I think Apple could have waited for Haswell a bit on the rMBP. Seeing how I don't have any performance specifications on the Haswell in a rMBP that is pure speculation based on how Intel seems to be with this chip.
I think that by now you have the battery issue solved. These new macbook pro retina machines are just outstanding. You can push these babies to the edge and they will perform amazingly. I wrote about them here MACBOOK PRO WITH RETINA DISPLAY

2. For quoting more than one post at once.
3. For quoting a single post.
4. Does absolutely nothing whatsoever; ignore.

Backwards and forwards are concepts that lie in the beholder's POV.....
