Was gonna get the new air but saw the pro that's 200 dollars more and has 2.9ghz dual core i7 processer 8gb ram and 750hd and so far I'm pretty happy with my decision!
You made a good decision, now go buy a dual boot super drive adaptor and slap an SSD AND your 750GB HDD in there and watch it come to life...
What does that do? I got the 8gb ram 2.9ghz dual core i7 I'm definitely excited!
Just to clarify, would it have been better to get the minimum specced Pro if you're going to upgrade the internals yourself anyways? And not to beat a dead horse or anything, but although these may be great machines, they have been on the market awhile which Apple sells at refurb prices with the same warranty as a new Mac would have. Why wouldn't you get a refurb (Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel i5 - Apple Store (U.S.)) if you're eying a year old product? The end goal after all is to max the RAM and throw a SSD in it right? i7 dual core vs i5 dual core isn't a huge difference IMO.
If you're a student or teacher (my wife is one), there's also the education discounts. I think for MBP it's a 200 dollar discount.

I bought the same model a few months back and it's been great. Congrats on your purchase, it's a fantastic machine!
