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?

Well, the flash memory is huge. Flash memory is awesome, SSD's are worth the price and the new Macbook Air looks like it will perform extremely well. If you are set on a Mac, and you want the -power- more so then the portability, the 13" macbook pro is still a great computer. You may look at the lack of an i3 chip, but for most people who buy the 13" it makes no difference to them over the Core 2 Duo in terms of what they will actually use it for.
If i were to get the 11.6" MBA i would get it with the 128GB flash memory.
