Then why not look at an iPad for your mobile, instead of a laptop?

As I mentioned before, I was looking to replace my Windows Desktop and Laptop with either a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. I would like your opinion on this:
If I go the route of MacBook Pro and upgrade everything to the limit, as expected the cost would be much higher, and I would use that as both my Desktop and Laptop. Suppose I wanted to stay with having 2 models, a Desktop and Laptop, and since I do not need all the bells and whistles on the Laptop, what if I purchased the iMac for my Desktop and MacBook Air for my Laptop?
Since I am a Navy Vet, I have access to the Apple Military Store, which gives a decent discount based on the model I buy. I won't go as far as saying money isn't an object, but I want to get most bang for my buck.
I appreciate the comments.

I'll take a slightly different position. I bought a 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro when they first came out, then an Apple MiniDisplayPort equipped gigantic Cinema Display (both were Apple refurbs, so I saved something on each). I took the big screen display to work. At home, I have a second generation Mac Pro (Dual 2.8 GHz Quad Core processors, and two large screen LCD monitors, 4 internal drives, etc. With the SSD in the MacBook Pro and newer Quad Core i7 processor, it's so much quicker to boot and launch programs that I don't USE the Mac Pro much at all, but I sure love that big screen when I get to work.
So, I'd vote for the MacBook Pro (expandability because it has extra USB and Thunderbolt ports compared to the Air), but wait until the next one comes out so it will have 802.11ac WiFi, then get one of the gorgeous Apple bigscreen monitors and a numeric-keypad-

Underwhelming.
Faster CPU and 64 bit? You will see little real world difference
Camera upgrade, very good
Fingerprint Sensor? Yawn
iOS7, yes a great upgrade but we get that free for iPhone 4 and up.
As board told TC to innovate, next year will be the year that Apple's iPhone takes the world by storm, there will be the larger option and real innovation. I hope for useful and reliable gestures

Actually, I find the fingerprint sensor quite nice, and I yawned at the camera upgrade. But since my budget is tight, and my iPhone 4S is only 14 months old, I won't be upgrading.
Although I use a password vault app, I would like my stuff to be a bit more secure. But I find a 4-digit password a pain to use and ridiculously easy to by pass.
Most updates are eye-candy. I'd love to have the ability to use Airdrop on my MBP, but it is one model too old. Not a deal killer or one to make me upgrade.
The instruction to innovate just goes to show how short sighted the board is. These innovations do not happen over night, no matter what anyone demands. Apple currently only needs stocks to reward employees. They don't need it to attract investors or funding, so I think the push to pay dividends counter intuitive to their operations. It only rewards bad habits by investors to expect immediate, constant, and increasing rewards.
Like Tim Cook said at the end of the presentation, they decide on what they want achieve or experience they want to provide, and then they go about developing the means to accomplish it. Hell, they are still working on and extending the secret plans that Steve started and developed with the help of this crew. I'd be more concerned that Tim is up to the Jobs, pun intended. Those are some awfully big shoes to fill, but he did have a good teacher.

Fingerprint sensor, my anticipation was great. Saw potential for iPhone as
a true wallet replacement. Sad to see it can only be used in iTunes.
I wanted to be able to use my iPhone as a credit card JUST LIKE MY SAMSUNG.
Maybe Apple can work this out next year. And hopefully a decent sized
screen, are least 5".

So I presume your Samsung allows 3rd-party app programmers access to the fingerprint reader.
How are 3rd-parties prevented from storing, re-using, or selling your fingerprint?

No Fingerprint scanner on any Android. My Samsung uses NFC and pass code to
unlock its use. VERY HANDY to pay with my phone, just tap it on the
reader. No card to swipe or sign. Hope fingerprint scanner is more secure
than pass code, wonder what is holding Apple back. My wife's LG also has
this capability, as do most Android phones. I also store all my cards on
my phone as my phone, unlike my wife's, can be read by any store scanner if
the store isn't equipped with NFC. I literally do not carry a wallet
anymore, just my phone. My phone case has a slot where I carry my driver
license and concealed carry permit. Those are the only two things I need.
And I slip a $20 bill in there just in case I need cash.

You and Jim, probably hit it on the head.
Apple is probably still working on the security issues of fingerprint scanning. They first try it, totally within their control, and then allow 3rd-party access. Look at GateKeeper, someone stole a developer's key, to get around the security. Do you want a 3rd party having access to your fingerprints? How would you reset your fingerprints?
Bob. please explain this sentence, "I also store all my cards on my phone as my phone, unlike my wife's, can be read by any store scanner if the store isn't equipped with NFC." Are you saying you have images of your cards on your phone, and stores accept the images? If they do, wow, what a security breach! No hologram, no magnetic strip to verify the card. No impression of the card to verify that you presented it.

I have not read the manual, either. I don't own a Brother's printer. BTW it is 144 pages, I just used the table of contents and search for the online version.
We not mind readers, so you have to tell us what you have tried, and be explicit with the details.
I know some of the posts are appearing very delayed, but your posts made it appear that the problem reappeared a day later.

No, everything is working now. I think it was a computer glitch and not a problem with the printer itself. Resetting it to default and deleting it and re-adding it in system preferences is what solved the problem.
Thanks for your help :-)
