The lower weight of the MBA made the decision for me. For day-to-day commuting its great. I've got a portable hard drive and a MBA SuperDrive for extended trips.

also it's important to remember that you can use the Air as a kitchen tool !

I'd sell the 13" - you'll make good profit. The XT adds great value when properly presented. Hell, I'd give you a reasonable offer for it. I've been kinda looking for one, but I'm just now migrating from a MBP13 2010 to a MBA13 2010.

I've been told I have cataracts developing too. So now I know what to do if my 12" PowerBook gets hard to read.
I've not been a fan of the Air due to limited ports. The advent of Thunderbolt might change my mind. If I travelled a lot I'd be very tempted to get an Air.
Good luck.

I don't know if bhaveshp was joking or being serious, but I second this suggestion.
Best of both worlds. Really.

The poll is useless unless you know all voters use a Mac the way you do.

collective MR mind have to say - and I hope it isn't "keep them both"

I agree, but everyone likes a poll and it attracts readers.

Maybe I'll consider that after my trip.
