Congrats. I bought my first macbook pro retina last month and I had the same gripe about storage space. I still haven't gotten used to a 120+ GB space coming from 450+ GB. However, I am loving my Mac and I hope you do too!

I picked up a Macbook Air last week and just returned it for the Macbook pro with Retina, the difference between the two is the screen and the pro seems to be sturdier than the air.

Yes, the screen is definitely better but Air is as strong as Pro. Check on Youtube.

I did it this weekend as well, after 15+ years of Macs when I went I an independent contractor consulting I opted for a Windows laptop since it was for my small business, considering now the price difference I wished I had gotten a new MBP, so I did that this weekend and my current windows machine will get wiped and donated to a good cause. Still a top of the line laptop but its better to be on a Mac.

Never knew that there was financing for students. If you use your student ID to purchase a MacBook you get a really good discount

I love this thing. It's with me right now in London woo!
