Charles, I would like to 2nd Dave's comments. I've been using an identically configured Mac and couldn't imagine a scenario where I would switch back to a traditional Windows laptop. I thought I would be living in a Windows VM but I rarely touch mine and do 99% of my work on the Mac OSX side.
You owe to yourself to visit an Apple store and check out the latest. When I purchased my unit they offered a 45 day return policy. I used this evaluation period to upgrade from Macbook Air to Macbook Pro. The upgrade process was seamless.

If you do get a Macbook then just make sure you get one with sufficient memory as they ade non upgradeable. If you don't mind an 18 month old one then you can add additional memory. My new one is 16Gb memory and 512Gb SSD drive Now 3 years with Macbook.... would NEVER ever go back to standard laptop, ever and now I use more and more of the OSX standard features with Windows 7 running under VMWare workstation. and it's faster than any Windows laptop even under emulation.
