It still is a lot to pay for a laptop in my eyes, but so are pretty much all Macbooks. Mac isn't cheap and if you haven't figured that out yet, perhaps you need to look elsewhere for a computer.

Yep but $600 (if you want the same specs as a basic macbook) is a ton for 1 cm thinner, and minimal difference in width and depth.
I'm just really not sure what to do with respect to getting a new computer right now. I have a Mac Desktop and a Macbook right now but the screen is cracked and there's no way it'll hold up travelling overseas for 6 months starting in December. I was hoping that the MBP 13 inch got an upgrade to the i3 chip or the 11 inch MBA was priced a bit lower.
Anyone got any advice? (I'm open to both PC and Mac laptops)
