That all being said, I've narrowed it down between two devices. A 13'' Pro or a 13'' Air. I'm going to get the 256 GB version, 128 would get filled far far too quickly, leaving the difference to be about $300 cash, a retina screen, 4GB of ram, and some battery life. Is it worth the extra cost to go up to the Pro?
What factors are making you think a Mac is the only realistic option for your needs? Plenty of PCs are ultra light/road warrior friendly and come with SSDs, high resolution displays, excellent battery life, etc. Apple has forced PC manufacturers to innovate, and life is quite good now even if you don't buy a Mac.
Edit: Saw my question is perhaps a bit late, but still interested in the answer.
