Hi, so I really want a MacBook Air and I wanted some opinions on whether I should wait for the next refresh or get the one out now. The reason why I'm not so sure is because of the possibility of an updated retina display in the future model.

Personally, the screen size on the macbook air isn't large enough for retina display to make a difference in my opinion, the newest mba just came out in june so you would be waiting at least a 8 months to hear any news about a future mba.

Good point, thanks for the reply and I do need it now for college because of it's portability. Thank's again.

I can assure you that on a laptop unless you need the retina resolution for design etc. It makes no difference, I have the 13 inch Haswell mba I can't distinguish any pixels from standard viewing :)
