I was thinking because of display and processing power?

I don't care about portability much but if you need something with a long battery life, then a MBP is a pretty good deal. I really dislike the macbook air.

How come? the air is really light and slick. The pro has a pretty decent weight to it.

Yeah size and weight are its two major selling points but unfortunately they're really its only selling points. I'd trade that for the MBP having more space and power, battery life and proper I/O ports.

The air is really marketed towards an extremely narrow band of consumers, which is one I don't fit in so that's why I think it's not worth it

I think I'm buying the Air. It has a higher pixel density, lighter, smaller, comparable battery life, and powerful enough for everything I need it to do. For everything else I have my desktop tower. =]

And it has a SSD. Most importantly, it looks epic :)

Flash isn't quite SSD, but yeah, something along those lines.

Update: nope. Got to use a MBP and MBA side to side today. The MBA's screen is so much worse... I bought a 13" MBP with crazy myers discount.

don't go alienware, overpriced, the only good alienware is the m11x, but you don't need something that can do crysis.

go for something slim and small, netbook or maybe an ASUS or Acer timeline (apparantly the timeline series is quite good which goes against Acer common opinion ;))
