The nice thing about the Thunderbolt ports is that you can break them out to multiple displays and a variety of high performance I/O devices making for an outstanding desktop setup. When on the go, you have a slimmer and lighter laptop to lug around. But yes, you will need a dongle for some specific devices until more of them support native Thunderbolt.Looks like Apple jacked the prices about 12% but you do get anywhere from about 50% - 100% increased performance, the improved Retina display, and that new touch bar thingy. And it weighs less than the previous gen. ;-)
I may upgrade eventually but my 2012 13" MBP (non Retina) still runs like new like the day I got it. My wife's 13" Retina MBP is only a year old.
BTW, you can replace the battery in your MacBook Air for about $100 if you DIY. An independent Apple shop might charge a few bucks more including labor.
Unscrew bottom case cover, remove old battery, install new one. Not so 'evil' of Apple to use internal battery after all.
