New rMBP vs. MacBook (Lap Use)

-

i have 2013 mba , works pretty me. lot of programming , enjoy watching 1080p youtube videos when come across them, , mba has never given issues both of those.
i'm interested in upgrading, screen. options macbook , new 13" rmbp. however, have important requirement.

vast majority of laptop use spent laptop on lap, upwards of 8 hours straight. mba perfect this: comfortable, small, extremely light, , little heat emission. hardly notice it's there.

don't care new macbook's flashy features , form, however, absolutely need that's comfortable use on lap extended periods, means not heat (regardless of clothes i'm wearing) , not weight. rmbp 0.5 lbs heavier, i'm not terribly concerned weight, heat , dimensions.

know new rmbp released, i'm wondering if second recent model tell me if there's reason why should prefer lighter model extended lap use, or if mbp fine.

thanks.
 

the late-2013/mid-2014 rmbps same generation, i'll post experience.

i've late-2013 13" rmbp , works fine on lap (although think it's not wide enough). retina screen nice addition too.
