Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro Retina

Since September 2012 I have been using a 13" Macbook Air. I loved it. It was the lightest and most versatile computer i have had the pleasure of owning. 

This week i made the jump (complements of my awesome job @ Skyfire.com / Opera.com ) to a Macbook Pro with Retina 13" late 2013 make.  Here are 3 reasons why i am loving the switch/ upgrade:

Size & Weight: Almost the same

To my surprise not only is the Pro running circles around the Air, but it actually feels lighter and roughly the same size. Since the last time i owned a Macbook Pro, Apple has shrunk and tightened up the build significantly.
The Pro is actually smaller in height and width. It is just as tall as the tallest part of the macbook Air. Of course the tapered side of the Air is not as tall.

Pixel Perfection: Pro wins !
I have been using the Pro with Retina display for several days now, and now notice how much worse the display is on the Air. It is the same feeling as i had when i upgraded from a non Retina iPhone screen to a Retina. When you upgrade up it is hard to tell the difference, but a few days in you look at your non retina older screen and it jumps out at you how much worse it is.

Speed Boost:  Pro wins !
The speed difference is noticeable. This Macbook Pro is on the high end of the 13" form factor from Apple. It has 16 GB ram (four times as much as the Air i had) , and 512 GB SSD disk ( two times as much storage as the Air). Also going from an i5 to an i7 processor is great. The pro is clocked at 2.8 gHz and turbo's (overclocks) even higher. This is a big improvement over the airs 1.8 gHz processor .

The only question left for me is what kind of leather case do i need. I rocked the Macbook Air with a black leather Sena Folio case, check it out here. The weight of which actually made the Air heavier than the Pro without a case (will probably be a wash).
