MacBook Pro Retina 13" or MacBook Air 13"?

Question

macbook

Hello, please help me with choosing a macbook.
Can't choose between:
1) MacBook Pro Retina 13" 2014
Intel Core i5 2.6GHz Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB RAM
256GB ROM
2) MacBook Air 13" 2014
Intel Core i5 1.4GHz Turbo Boost up to 2.7 GHz
8 GB RAM
256 GB ROM
For what purposes I buy:
Work in Logic Pro, a little Photoshop, simple video editing, programming for iOS and Mac, well, simple surfing, watching movies and listening to music.
PS
I'm not going to connect to an additional monitor.
PPS
And yet, I'm afraid to take Retina because they say that it sometimes slows down the interface, but I can't stand it very much.

Answer 1

See how you will use it. I would take air for comfort.

Answer 2

Pro of course.

Answer 3

It doesn’t matter what you take it for, it’s important whether you constantly carry it or not, if you are then air, if not, then a bug.
The interface on the retina does not lag anywhere.

Answer 4

Take PRO, nothing lags on it.
I was also choosing between these two models, and the consultant said "definitely take the PRO, since it has Retina." I took, I do not regret, the best monitor I have ever worked on. I tried to work with a friend on Air after him - after Retina, even on it the screen does not look very good.
Previously, these two models had different advantages - pro was productive (but heavy and less autonomous), air was light and autonomous, but less productive.
Now pro (from the 13th year):
- there is Retina
- the performance is higher (this is understandable)
- it weighs 200 grams more than Air (I periodically work in a cafe and carry it with me)
- Apple claims to last 8-9 hours at medium brightness and web surfing. According to my observations, the figure is similar to the truth. Again, when working in a cafe, I used to take a charger with me (out of habit, before that I had a Samsung laptop). Now I practically don’t take the charger with me, because I’m sure that the laptop will last almost a full working day.

Answer 5

And I bought a Mac Air 13 i7 8Gb 128Gb last week, I am very pleased with the purchase, there is enough power, quite Adobe products do not slow down, if you want mobility, then Air, Pro will be more powerful, but also heavier, not so convenient for everyday carrying. To test performance in games, I launched StarCraft 2, everything works without problems. Happy as an elephant! Choose what you like)

Answer 6

I don’t really understand when they say that Pro is needed for productive tasks And so on. All its increased frequency and power is needed to manage to draw a picture on the retina.
at the very pro retina i5 late 2013 8gb - I will say that the RAM is sorely lacking and the processor, often, too.
already decided that the next poppy will be exactly with i7 and 16 gigs.
and so, if you need mobility and power - why not take a custom version of Air: i7 8gb?
