    I would look into getting an e-gpu with your macbook air. It would have to stay in one place, but would give you plenty of power to perform at a greater level than your Sager.

    You could also sell both for $1k each and put them towards a new notebook purchase. $2000 would likely get you close enough to whatever you want right now whether it is a RMBP or something else.

    your statement is kinda weird. you say your thinking of getting rid of the sager because its so powerful it feels like you have 2 desktops. then you say your thinking of selling both the air and the sager because you want more power in a macbook pro.

    the retina macbook pro is a sweet piece of hardware. I see people selling all kinds of their stuff just to try and get one. if the retina is whats really on your mind sell em both and go for it. its not like your getting something questionable or crappy.

    I considered a retina myself but I just purchased a cintiq 21ux-dtk so getting a retina after that would have been ridiculous.

    The sager's going to have a specific purpose. Powerful GPU on the go. If you no longer need that then the MBA is the portable winner. It's already very capable minus GPU intensive tasks.
