What do I need in a new Mac?

Need to get a new computer soon and would like some opinions on what am I looking for. I currently have a 15 "MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory, the graphics are NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB. I have the habit of working graphic arts so my computer for graphics previously much used, but is no longer. Now all that I mainly use my computer is basic internet usage, but I play some graphics intensive FB games that are really slow on my computer. If a new Mac, what do I look for is faster than this computer? It's the graphics, memory, processor? What is the best recommendation... I can shoot with a MacBook or a MacBook Air? I like the ability to have a CD/DVD drive if possible. I would like just to make it faster on these graphics intensive games as this computer. I have 50/50 FiOS internet. All opinions and help what to look for is really appreciated!

First thing to know is the Apple refurbished store online http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac.  Apple-given to nine units for about 15% off nine and the renovation of the process find all the flaws of some love better than the factory-line units.  I have one handed to nine, and you can buy AppleCare on them.

Now... the correct unit...

RAM and storage are set to what you buy now (well... maybe someone will find the right parts to allow storage upgrade later, but by opening the case the guarantee so pores...) to be ready to buy "until you might need later.  A review on buying more RAM, is that if you intend to resell them in a few years the largest models RAM sale easier.

I would not choose the device so that an optical drive now... you can buy an external USB optical drive later.

GPU will be faster.  Faster CPU (although the GHz is less, the processor will be much better type).  You cannot customize the different CPU GPU... they travel in pre-established packages.

I like 15 Pro (2 GPU instead of 1), if only because "more power I need now" means that it serves my needs for several years.  But the Air is lighter and less expensive.
