Then just go for the new MBA. I personally find it's resolution pretty ok...heck in fact It has taken my quite a while to get accustomed to 1080p on my 17.3" laptop. I think also the bad scaling options in Windows is to blame.
Also there still is student discount ~8% and professor discount ~14% available if you buy from the retail outlets which are also known as Apple education partners.
Can you please share your experience ? As I understand it is about last generation MBA and as I understand the display has not been changed. I have used MBA in person (for short time) but didn't notice any eyeburn ? Please share your experience.I had the same bad experience

I believe there is no Apple retail outlet here in India. Also the 14% discount which you are talking about would be for US teachers only. Finally has the prices of MacBook Pro 13" increased from $999 to $1199 as everybody on the US forums quotes that price.
