  • Man I wish the MacBook air had a cd drive that is the only reason that I don't want the MacBook air because I don't do a lot of video editing but I do use the cd drive

  • @tedinoxford Macbooks are slim and stylish :D just saying.

  • Is it worth buying the pro over the air if I'm just editing some gopro footage that's all want to do on it but would I actually see much difference?

  • Comment removed

  • @MichaelDion8 In 2012, you don't want to buy a notebook that you know it was designed in 2008/2009. The future of the notebook is compact, thin, fast and powerful enough. Do not hesitate, MBA all the way!

  • MacBook Pro 13" ,

    MacBook Air 11" or

    MacBook Air 13"

    can't deside.. =[

  • @MichaelDion8 pro my friend :) why?

    pro 13 = 1,199.99 (super faster and you can upgrade)

    air 13 = 1,299.99 (no soo faster)

  • why would you compare two uncomparable machines?

  • Upnext: Comparing the MacBook Pro (i7 quad) with the Apple II

    -.-

  • so will the air be good for playing alot of minecraft?

  • Internet, email, a little bit of YouTube, and lol a little bit of unboxing therapy well these all can be done using an iPad. Sometimes, I am just wondering why people buy the Air. Probably its looking is the main attraction

  • Please reply, which one is best for mail, a bit gaming(just a little) editing videos, Air 11.6 inch or Pro13 inch?

  • @TeeBee997 As soon as any gaming is involved, I'd have to say pro. I have the air but I don't do any gaming at all.

  • @TeeBee997 macbook pro

  • Pro is the most bang for your buck. Plus, it's already portable enough. The thinness of the Air is just a gimmick.

  • -Don't be a hoe, buy the Pro, bro

  • im getting a mac book for my b-day

  • i think that macbook air suits Girls

  • @saikalyhelper i think u r right

  • @saikalyhelper dude im not a girl but thats sexist

  • Would it be cheaper to upgrade ram yourself

  • @Kingddd333 without a doubt it'll be cheaper for you to purchase it from a third party source.

  • Hey guys whats a kensington lock? - i don't want to sound like a n00b. I have a MBP and i don't know what it is!

  • How do you get so much money? to buy so many apple products, could someone tell me please? is it me that I'm that poor? or what? I really don't understand.

  • @ferreirabruno1995 He has a YouTube partnership, which should pay for this on its own, and I'm guessing he has a job. But he pays for these with credit cards.

  • thanks, very useful comparison!

  • Why wouldnt you just a do a video showing off the pro? This was hardly a fair fight before you cranked up your pro.

  • That pro is a beast!!!

  • Why can't I have both...:( I can buy either of them. I love the air but even though I have no use for the pro's power I still want it. And those speakers...!!!

  • what do you recommend a macbook pro or a macbook air

  • VERY UNFAIR COMPARISON!!!

  • why do a review on a tortoise and a hare? you should have been showing off how fast the air was!

  • I need a computer to do my homework on, go on fb, YouTube and just search the Internet! No editing or anything like that! Shud I get a MacBook air?

  • @NiitroChiZz yes definitely. or possibly a 13" macbook pro.

  • @NiitroChiZz Yes, if thats the only thing you are going to use it for.

  • would like to see whats the actual benchmark for the stock hard drive in the macbook pro :(

  • Air or pro both 13 ivh, dont care about cd, do light video editing and light minecraft, which one? I really need help.

  • @apfeljonas Get the pro

  • Hey man,

    What is the name of the screen capture app you're using?

  • Will it blend?

  • @Chiflado99 no its indestructible silly

  • Wow great video

  • Which is better at gaming? and Can you tell me the battery life for both?

  • so after many hours of youtube reviews since i heard about the mac book air i finally decided on the pro.. the only thing is i have heard that there are so many upgrades people got and im wondering which ones i should be getting as well. and what a ssd upgrade its lol i am not to computer savy with all the tech talk but i do want a fast computer im tired of my laptops ending up slower than a snail. please help. i will be mainly using the laptop for multi media purposes

  • for college hands down get a MacBook Air. You bring it to class and get it started in 20 seconds from powered off. Its fantastic! I got the fully upgraded 13" and LOVE IT!

  • Im going to Indiana university next year and want one BAD! Which should I get? the fact that the macbook air doesnt have a disk drive is an instant turn off but what do you think? im going to major in biology and chemistry and than go to med school

  • @MrSorrellC I think you should get the MacBook Air..

  • Not a fair comparison. You upgraded the Pro!

  • Comment removed

  • Which of those two computers should I get for college ?

    I am going to be an engineering

  • @p3p3jose Hey man, i suggest you get the Mac book pro with an SSD upgrade, since you'll be studying engineering i think the more powerful option would be good + more ports and a super drive is something you do need. Peace

  • how bout for architecture purposes ? what will you recommend me for ?

  • @nikahat you can buy a SuperDrive for the MacBook air which costs about £60

  • @dill2011 Which Is How Much In Us?

  • @dill2011 whats a super drive?

  • If the air had a cd drive then I'd buy it.

  • wow man, this is not a fair comparison at all, this is really unhelpful because people want to compare the pure macs out of the box, of course people can upgrade the pro and obviously its going to be better but this was just really showing off how powerful your pro was....

  • I dunno what i want...MBA is light and loads quick but the MBP has more ports n' stuff.Im gonn move to texas and need a new computer.I also want an alienware but cant decied

  • I wont macbook air

  • I want that Macbook Pro!

  • @darkchaos987 you should go for the pro and not the air. By the way, Great enlightening video!!!! thanks for that! Keep on!

  • Is the macbook air worth getting, I need it for 3D modeling.

  • @Darkchaos987 you probably want to get the macbook pro because its very good with that, i reccomend the 8GB of ram and the 750GB harddrive and you should probably get the antiglare screen so you can work anywere

  • @SuperHodge08 I would love the macbook air because its so light but I see where you're coming from. Thanks for the help

  • @Darkchaos987 anytime!

  • Yes we have the expensive Digital SLR cameras at home but why is it I have 1,000 photos on my iPhone 4? Because it the camera that is always with me. Portability should be considered when comparing MacBook Air to Pro. Seriously to consider the return on investment means how much will I actually spend using said device? Get a small zippered slip cover with handles for the MBA and your new best friend will always be with you!

  • Unless your going to be seriously doing a lot of high end video editing or major heavy duty graphic work rendering I'd say take it light and easy and get the new 13.3" MacBook Air! You will find the portability factor enables you to want to use your machine in more places than you would previously consider lugging a heavy laptop around. The solid state SSD instant on will also make for quick on the spot power up computing a dream!

  • I bought the stock 11" for my mother because I thought it would be better than an iPad, and it's perfect for her. I thought hard about buying the 13" Air for me but I just can't do it. Not as it is. I know and appreciate that Thunderbolt is FAST but there's no external drives that I can use with it yet. I currently have an iomega ego mac edition and I use it over firewire 800, it's quite fast over that connection. That's my timemachine disc. The Air won't let me use it, there's no firewire =/

  • I cant decide!!!!

  • I do web design and development (thus normally running, at the same time, Photoshop and Coda, Fireworks, and iTunes, Safari with multiple tabs of Flash and JS, etc.) — which do you think is best for me now? And within the next 3 years? (e.g. future proof).

    I would go for either the 256 GB SSD on the Air with the 1.8 processor upgrade; and the low-end 15" Pro.

  • Which one would be recommended for taking to university? For someone to manage emails, take notes, and I make a lot of graphics in photoshop and draw a lot in paint tool sai. Which doesn't take up all that much memory or stuff, if my 4GB Packard Bell laptop can handle it, so can one of these.

    help / opinions please?? Air or Mac for Uni??

  • if you have a lot of emails and constantly travel, the macbook air will suit you. if you have serious development work, you would need the imac or 17" or 15" macbook pro and an Ipad for the occation.

  • Nice video hey should i get the 11 inch air the 13 inch pro or a 21.5 inch imac?

  • i am confused which one to buy apple mac bookpro 13'' 2011 or hp envy 14

  • @YASHPatel155 MACBOOK PROOO!!! lol always go mac man dont go with HP

  • Macbook Air comes with flash storage NOT solid state!!!!!!!!!

  • Interesting comparison

  • You almost described the MacBook airs uses being very similar tobthe iPads lol

  • Excellent review. You did not speak a mile a minute, you had your thoughts expressed clearly with just a right amount of humor. Great job!

  • unfair

  • @theavenger881 For gaming and portability, you will definitely want to get the high-end MacBook Pro 15". The MacBook air has "meh" Intel HD Graphics 3000 intergrated graphics.

  • @MacOSXMason what if I were to be using a flight simulator like X-Plane? Is the MacBook Air going to handle it well?

  • @SuperEnigmation Get the high-end MacBook Air 13" (not that I want you to spend more money, I want to get you better performance) It should play at a fairly decent FPS, but please do some extra research, or try it at a local Apple Store.

  • @MacOSXMason No. Processor does not directly affect frame-rate in games. That's dependent on the graphics card. That's why the 2010 MBA could play games just as good, if not better than the current 2011 MBP/MBA.

    The Nvidia n320(right?) is better than the integrated HD3000 that comes with the current models. Getting the i7 over the i5 won't help you here.

  • /watch?v=Yl7uUTs1-Js easy way to win free gadgets

  • This comparison is simply silly. Try to compare a basic macbook pro 13" and a basic macbook air 13". Pumping the macbook pro with the vertex 3 fakes the comparison. Be serious.

  • the dumbest comparison ever ......who on earth would compare an Ferrari with a toyota

  • i wish i could plant money! :(

  • so what youre saying is that the pros geekbench score is... OVER 9000!!!!

  • i have decided to get the macbook air and i will also purchase the external superdrive so i can watch dvds, install programs, burn discs etc.. One question, there is an option to upgrade from a 1.7 Ghz dual core i5 to a 1.8 Ghz dual core i7 for $100. is it worth it???

  • @morava1 i think yeah,,,

    

  • I have that same macbook pro !

  • you sound like peter from family guy...

  • @liamshah1 You must be stoned or drunk everytime you watch family guy. There is no way that speaker in this video sounds like peter griffin.

  • @liamshah1 wow not at all

    

  • @Kamikazee011

    Downloading things and the online side of gaming depends on your internet speed, gaming in general goes to the Pro due to faster processor and ATi graphics are largely supported by many games, both laptops will do video editing, and data transfer is based on what your using to transfer from, a firewire port will transfer faster than usb 2.0 but thunderbolt is soon goin to be integrated to many external hard drives, supposedly transferring at 10GB per second. Get the MacBook Pro e

  • @jerryx2000 win comment ! :D and yer which one is better for porn?

  • im going to get a macbook pro buti dont know if i should get a 15 inch or 17 inch, can some pleas reply

  • @SamBassTV wait a few months for the next modell, then buy the top 15 inch model ;)

  • @knarkautomat what is it called

  • @SamBassTV i dunno, 15" MacBook Pro?

  • @SamBassTV get the 17, because the 15" is already heavy you won't be able to cary it around. so if you buy 15" to be your desktop then why not buy bigger screen.Then later buy the ipad for portabily

  • I don't see the point of comparing the Air to the Pro. Obviously the Pro (w/ your vertex drive) is going to blow away the Air. Sure its interesting to watch just for curiosity's sake to look at the numbers. But it would've been the same to just do a review separately. Even a Air vs stock Pro would've made more sense.

  • i had no idea what u said but at the end you specified my needs and i was already goin for the air so thx :D

  • which one is better for porn?

  • Comment removed

  • Hi I have a few questions regarding this particular laptops.

    1st: How much is it for the each of both?

    2nd: Which is better in using Video Editing, Online Gaming, Data Transfer?

    3rd: What would you suggest buying if I'm into Downloading large files, Online Gaming, Data Transfer, and of course Long Term Usage? Thanks!

    Anyone is welcome to answer this few questions.

  • so which one do you prefer macbook pro or macbook air?

  • solid review!!! Thank you! A+++

  • shit man! how do you make money? can i work with you?

  • Thank you very much this was really helpful

  • I have been debating these two for a good while. I can to a pretty firm decision and wanted to share my consensus.

    For the price of the 15" MacBook pro with the upgraded dedicated GPU (HD6750) and an aftermarket ~256GB SSD, you can get a 13" MacBook Air AND a nice Sager 15"workstation laptop with the 4GB MORE memory 1920x1080 Resolution display AND a GTX 560M dedicated GPU which is roughly 25% more powerful than the 6750 the MBP comes with as well as the exact same processor (not a mac though).

  • What if i want to use it for gaming?

  • @Thisguy2123 What games? Lol. MacBook Air has played every game I've thrown at it.

  • the macbook pro IS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!

  • Which is better:

    1. iMac 27' i7 + Macbook Air 13" i7

    2.Thunderbolt display + FULLY upgraded Macbook Pro 13" i7

  • @patrickli804 I like no.1,that's what i'd use

  • do a giveaway!

  • you sound like jay z

  • @jgasper89 I have the same problem I am gonna get the MacBook air becuz my friend has it and he says the gaming and display is unforgettable I hope I helped

  • if you had to choose between the pro and the air, which would you choose and why?

  • Do you get these apple products for free ? If so , feel me in on the inside tip. lol

  • i bet when apple gets bluray it will be called the "magic drive"

  • 15" with an anti-glare screen ftw.

  • @anthonysjb94 dunno man. the black glossy display is sexy!

  • mac book pro in other tests there is an SSD, but this test did you use a SSD, is obivio the mac pro would be faster.

    This test was very biased.

  • Awesome :D

    

  • you should upgrade the mbp to 10.7 lion first then do the test benchmark

  • defenitley a little bit of unbox therpay :D

  • Dude! Excellent review!  Thanks...m

  • @tiestir same here :(

  • ya are you rich or something

  • The Pro destroys it from a performance perspective, which is understandable, but the Air is certainly a convenient little device to have handy and has enough punch to satisfy most general purpose users (media, web, office, apps, etc).

  • that MBP aftermarket SSD is pretty impressive!!

  • Why do i keep looking at these dream machines I'll never be able to afford.

  • @tiestir holy suck it up there only around 1400 dollars

  • @90nikefootball Only 1400? I'm glad you have money to throw down the drain, but being the average income making civilian that I I am, I find your "only $1400" comment a little offensive. I can buy a car with $1400.

  • @tiestir i bought my first mac at 16, i saved up my money, i was making 8$ an hour. I received no money from my parents.

  • @tiestir my problem is that i have the money but i just dont have the balls to spend so much money on a computer.i dont see how ppl can do it...i mean if i ever get one i gotta be drunk or something when i go out and buy one.

  • @tiestir - You won't be as happy as you think you would be even after you are able to afford these dream machines...It is just a laptop :)

  • @waterbottle7777 I tend to disagree! I went thought this condition then got a iPad 2 and am more happy than I ever thought I'd be so there. Likely because the iPad 2 out preformed my perceived needs for the device. Its amazing how dang useful the iPad 2 has become...

  • @tiestir You're a pretty sorry individual if you don't think you'll ever have $1400 in your bank account.

  • @tiestir Get a job :) lol

  • @tiestir I fell ya :'''(

  • What would you use for school?

  • Subscribed ;) 

  • really nice comparison!!!

  • @DANG3RBIRD where did you hear that :S ?

  • What about photosshop editing, which computer would be best for that?

  • for just everday use like on the internet and editing videos witch do u recomed?

    please reply

  • @ReBirthbeatz air. that's why im getting it

  • Thank you soooo much for doing this video :)

  • Imagine johnny knoxville saying this

  • Im in love with those things

  • Hey , what is with that Bugatti ?

  • are u rich or something?

  • @KennyKABOOM1 OMG is having 2 mac's already being rich, lockergnome has 75 mac's and even more pc's, HE is rich. (and a little grazy)

  • @KennyKABOOM1 :D no he just has a job loool. For non-working people (like myself) it does seem expensive XD

  • @KennyKABOOM1 He saved around $4000, when he does reviews he buys the product and after a week he returns it..... and time for the next product.......

  • @KennyKABOOM1 No he's older than 10.

  • @KennyKABOOM1 He has something called a JOB! Get one! It gets you stuff!

  • @KennyKABOOM1 no he's probably got something called a 'job'

  • @KennyKABOOM1 some times companys give u this stuff for free to mac a review and it is like cheap advestisment

  • i'd buy an ipad instead of the air, cuz for people who want their photos, videos, and internet with'em the ipad is the way to go. The ipad does almost all of the things that the air does, so i guess it's the customer's choice.

  • @jotiw1 WOW, lol your kidding right? Ipad doesnt even play flash, good luck with that. And theres no USB. Ok fine, there are ways you can get it but for the money, ill stick to a laptop. There's a reason why there are laptops and touchpads....theres a reason.
