Hi Ashley, If you need to buy it soon, go with the Macbook Pro. It's a faster machine. If you can wait, there will probably be a new Mac Mini out in the near future which will likely outperform the MacBook Pro. Thing is, the portability of the laptop is a real plus with the built-in screen and all. The Mac Mini will need a monitor to be hooked up to it to behave correctly. also, while a Mini will probably be out soon, it could be July or even August before it ships, who knows.
I have the MacBook Pro Retina with the TB drive and it's insanely fast. Great machine.
