Huh, I'd been holding out to see the new MBP but if this is how it compares to the Air I think that might be my choice. I've been using an old Air which does okay but I like the newer track pads and 4gb of RAM is painful with even a single browser window open.
Yup, that was my main issue. I always wanted a higher res screen than my 2011 but the 4gb was really the killer. That and, you can't even install MacOS Updates on 128gb if you have any photos :) I think 8Gb is plenty for "normal" air usage, but why not max it out to future-proof it.
