If you buy and there is a new model released shortly after, you can often trade in the old model for the new. I think AppleStores do this. Last time this happened to me it was with a machine bought in Sydney, so I didn't take it back. That machine is a 13 ins Air Book. I think that the RAM speed made up for the slower processor, though now that the MBP has the same SSD memory, that may no longer be the case.
I like the Air Book a lot. I like the 11 ins more than the 13, but both have a screen that's too small, really, for what I do. 256 Gb easily becomes too small. 4Gb is far too small for Sam's ambitions, but does me most of the time.
