The Air makes use of Flash memory and not an SSD incidentally. I went with the 15" professional due to the fact I desired an interior disk power and a better CPU. I like it and i know I made the right choice. Additionally preserve in intellect the Intel images scales as you set more RAM in the procedure. At 4GB you have 384MB and at 8GB you have got 512MB. An additional point for the professional is that you could install a SSD or Hybrid pressure if you want to and set up one more HDD in location of the disk power.

Get the 15. Your eyes will thank you later. Also it's not an investment it's a tool. Investments appreciate in values tools depreciate.

there isn't much difference between the 2 except the retina display and maybe the price. if your heart is set on the 13" go for it.
