MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina VS MacBook Pro 13-inch Non-Retina?

Hello everyone,

I am on the market for buying a MacBook for school.

I went to Apple Store stayed there for an hour playing with the 13-inch Pro with and without Retina.

I liked the Non-Retina display for a fact that it has a DVD Optical Drive, and a 500 GB regular HDD, and the Ethernet port I believe, but I hated the fact that it is heavy, thicker and the HDD of course will keep on spinning and will cause heat and noise.

13 inch with Retina, I liked it also for the fact that it is lighter, thinner, better screen, but I hated that it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, Ethernet Port, nor much of Storage, it only has a 128 GB Flash Solid State Drive (which I love but not a 128 GB), because it simply is not enough, however I do use a lot of online Storage such as the Box, DropBox, OneDrive.. etc. so it is very quite

What would I use Mac for??

Like I said for school, but here is a list of what basically I want it for:

Microsoft Office

Adobe Products (i.e. DreamWeaver)

Watching Movies, shows ..etc

Burning CD's (not that important since I have a Desktop PC)

Emails, Social networking, Browsing

Please guys answer and I will take your advice!

Thanks a lot
