I love the weight of a MBAir, but worry that the max 8gigs wouldn't be enough to get the best of the virtual Windows install, and having only a 13-inch screen would be less than ideal, as sometimes I'm out of town for weeks at a time without a larger monitor. The laptop needs to be light for carrying reasons my old 7.7 lb Pavilion is killing my neck and shoulders. The reality is that I was having trouble finding a lightweight, Windows-based laptop with a 500+ SSD and the option of 16 gigs memory Dell has one, but the cost would be almost the same as a MBPro by the time you finish configuring, and I know the quality wouldn't be as good. Do you find the 16 gigs is worth it, performance-wise? (I've also learned in the forum that I'd have to keep at least PPT on the Windows side as well, since apparently Storyline can't reliably work with mac-created PPT files for some reason.) I know I'd have to buy Parallels 7, and a license for Windows 7 as well. I'm considering shelling out for the MCPro Retina, with the faster processor and 500 Gig hard drive, and was contemplating upgrading to the 16 gigs of memory as well. My old HP Pavilion seems to be giving up the ghost, and I'm seriously considering switching finally to a mac, since I now have an iPhone and iPad and would love to use iCloud to synch them. Phil-How do you like Storyline on the new MBP with 16gb and the SSD?
