I'm in the market for a new Macbook. I really need one with much more space, and faster ram, and a non-cracked screen (lol, dropped it once, dented the top, then stepped on it and cracked the top of the screen). It's been a fantastic laptop for 5 years though and there's nothing wrong with it (besides what I'VE done to it lol). I just want to upgrade.

So anyway my debate is between the 13" Pro or the 13" Pro with Retina Display. It seems the retina display does not have a built in DVD/CD player. Which I think I could live with. I really don't use it THAT much and could buy one separately. The retina screen really seems amazing. But I dunno, I might just go with the regular Pro which has one, and it also has a hard drive whereas the new computers have flash drive.

I need to research the main differences and which one is better still. I am just looking for a lot of space. I want to be able to keep a lot of my videos and pics on my actual computer. My current computer is super small harddrive. I bought the lowest of the low 5yrs ago because I just wanted a macbook like NOW and couldn't wait to save up more money for a bigger one lol.

I wouldn't personally get an Air unless you were just surfing the internet and checking e-mail type thing. But I did hear the battery life is fantastic on it. It just seems so breakable to me.
