If you click on the Compare Mac notebooks (bottom left) on the MBP page, you get this:

with all the specs, including the non-Retina 13" MBP. It's the only Mac left with an optical drive ('Superdrive').
laJim did not specify if he needed portability. If not, a Mini plus monitor or an iMac might be better for "aging eyes."
I'm toying with replacing my 2010 13" MBP (pre-retina) with an Air for less weight when traveling; the only thing that's stopping me (besides $$) is the CD/DVD drive, which I like to use on the train.
