The Air is a fantastic machine if you don't need high-end gaming graphics or the most powerful processor. It can also be a roadworthy, two-machines-in-one item: my previous job required carrying a laptop all over the place on a regular basis, and the happiest guy I worked with had an older Air that was running Windows 7 via BootCamp. He said Win7 ran faster on the Mac than on any of the Windows machines he used in his computer consulting business.

I'd still go for the Pro if I wanted a "not gonna replace it for at least a decade" machine: its processing muscle will keep it from functional obsolescence for a long time, and it's got a built-in optical drive. Then again, for what little I use my personal machine for, the Air would more than cover the bases.

13" > 11". You'll be a lot happier in the long run.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
