What Macbook should I get?

I need a Mac for college. I'm choosing between the 13 Inch Air with a 256 GB hardrive, or the 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina display with a 125 GB hard drive. The price points are only $50 apart so its not a huge concern.

Side note: I'm studying business, so I'll use this computer primarily for excel or word documents, internet and some other basic software like Itunes.

    The Air would be good. But I'd get the Surface 2 for your needs. Its way cheaper at $450(+keyboard) and it already has full Office 2013 installed on it! At least check it out.

    Either computer will work. The Pro will be a bit more powerful. If you are going to carry it a lot, you might go with the lighter Air. If you will mostly leave it in your dorm room and just carry it occasionally, I would go with the Pro.
