So here's the deal. Max budget is 75k Id be very sad to pay that much >.<)

I almost fixed on Macbook Air but then here are the problems I think-
> 4gb ram only
> Avg screen.
> Huge silver bezels >.<

I want to run OSX and Windows 10 on it. Also should be portable. Which is why Im more inclined towards the Air but the above problems are stalling me. Also will be running a few linux virtual machines using virtual box along with Photoshop, illustrator and ofcourse web browsing.

The Macbook pro for 75k gives
- better screen
- 8gb ram
- force touch (I dont mind the old one.)
- Will have to use a Jetdrive for additional 128gb. (cause poor)

Now the thing is I have a very powerful Hackintosh (i7, 16gb ram and shit.) so Im more inclined towards the Air but also dont want to end up with a machine that's going to last just a year.

On that note I was wondering how much would a 256gb sell for after a year? Also Apple is rumoured to be updating them with new design and all.

If you use the Air or pro please give your personal experience. If not then what you think.

(Dont link me to videos, seen them all.)
 
I don't think that the pro is that unportable. If you are getting better specs at the same price, go for the pro.
