  • Excellent introductory comparison.

  • i am about to go to college for graphic design and i would like to know which macbook i should get

  • @theunits3 which do you like better. The MacBook pro or air?

  • I am an architecture student and would like to know which model of mac choose, because programs will use modeling, CAD, and image edition.

  • @misaelheron i would recommend a MBP but my advice would be to wait as new ones are round the corner. A refresh is due April-May'ish.

  • @theunits3 Actually Intel´s new processors will be late, so the correct date would be june-july

  • @jtrlnd2 actually, its not 100% confirmed yet whether the entire range is restricted or just a certain type(s) of chipsets.

  • @theunits3 Hi, My question is: How does writing feel on both mac books? I can't decide which one i should consider to buy. I will only use it for my studies as a medicine (mostly classes). The most important thing is that it should be comfortable and that I'm able to write as quick as possible. Which one would it be?

    Thanks for your answer!

  • @FaebuBucher Air is perfect for your needs. 

  • I can't decide between buying a macbook air 11'' or macbook pro 13''.One question:Is the macbook air durable??The screen cracks easily??Please reply

  • i think apple needs a computer like pc that you can open up and customize for gaming and still have the mac OS.

  • Can you please shout the word "Freeeeeedom" please? just wanna check something.

  • @MrKkels William Wallace won't approve of it. :D

  • @theunits3 haha fair enough. wouldve been pro though :)

  • tumbs up if the next video your going to is "dont buy a mac, heres why"

  • @aregulargamer thumbs up if you think he feels like an idiot, seen as this video is 7 months old :D

  • Hey  what TV is that or what display

  • He sounds exactly like Captain Price from MW2 and MW3

  • macbook air is best!!!

  • OMG!! At 2:34 you sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!!

  • Yeah most people only see some specs but the macbook air is a hell of a machine to work with ... as you can see ;) i had one ... now im running on a macbook pro, i just switched because i needed more ports and the disk drive ... :)

  • r u from scotland? i love scotland!

  • @bradleyc4iapps i prefer the pro as it is more reliable and just has a better feel to the air. hope this helped

  • I Wish I Had As Much Money As The Views On This Video

  • do u prefer air or pro?

  • @mattsheedy9 did you watch the video?

  • Here in America I just went to a apple store (thank God I live in cali) and the air is 999 USD and the Pro is 1119 USD

  • Exactly what I was looking for, a side-by-side comparison. Was very helpful, but I'm still stuck deciding, LOL!!

  • There was a lot of things there that really suprised me i would of thought the pro would win most of the tests !! But it would of been good if u wrre to give a conclusion of weigh,t size, speed, graphics....

  • The anti-glare 1680X1050 display is GORG-JIZZ!

  • I just recently bought a MBA and I am in love. Of course the MBP is like top of the line especially if your a gamer or doing massive video editing etc. But I have an iMac for that. The MBA is so light never gets hot and is super fast. The screen is clearer and is the future of notebooks. The MBP is better in the sense of storage and ram etc. But this new flash drive technology is great! Just my opinion.

  • sorry guy this test This test does not tell the whole truth. Pro is better and u made ver y bad test

  • mac fan?

  • @epicledgend my pillow is my macbook air.

  • You look like one two from Rocknrolla!

  • @420Sat1va but im way more sexier.

  • @theunits3 debatable. I should also point out the review/comparison was extremely helpful! and i've added some ayegear to my birthday wishlist!

  • MacBook Pro!!!

  • PRO!!!!!!!!

  • It's all about SSD in Air - but it is horribly expensive.

  • howd u get so many apple products?

  • Comment removed

  • @kaziklew32 Education, Work, Money.

  • I was wondering if you could help me. I am a secondary school student and I have a choice between the top of the range 13" Pro and the top of the range 13" Air, I was wondering which one I should get, I'm a bit worried about the ruggedness of the MacBook air, will it break if I drop it a few times I also like the 750gb drive on the Pro

  • you know what I miss from the pro, the external battery indicator, other than that portability and coolness makes me prefer my air

  • Borat cousin

  • what kind of language do you speak?

  • see this vid wif mah MBP!!!

  • what about battery?!

  • am full loaded,have already macbook 2011 plus ipad 3

  • Ok ok, hold'n...you have 2 Xbox and 2 MacBooks?! Nice, but wheres PS3

  • Theres Xbox ;D! But wheres PS3?

  • so basically the macbook pro is not the 2011 one? coz if it was it would come with iOS lion not snow leopard... there might be a difference there. Another thing is if the macbookpro is used/older it would be a bit slower than a new macbook air if thats new and vice versa

  • @ladygagarocks17 no, he probably has the early 2011 mbp. I have the early 2011 version and it came with Snow Leopard. Lion didn't come out until mid 2011

  • I was at best buy yesterday and I went to the apple computers and they have them running all day and I felt the MacBook air and it wasn't hot the only one that was burning up was the iMacs

  • The future of a notebook, MBA

  • Great video. Keep em' comin! By the way, the accent is awesome.

  • does the macbook air get hot on just using facebook and youtube ????

  • Please use text and use subtitles.

    I can't understand your rambeling about Xboxes and so on.

    Apple sucks but they hope for youtube to be the new steve and steve would have given your strange ass cancer for this

  • A Scottish person with an Xbox.. American Idol is better!

    Southpark say scots are from space.

    I say they are from a retard center and they practice speaking everyday without any progress..

    This guy wasted my time!

  • Still very unsure?! Love the air ! Don't really use CDs but will it be dated in years to come? Or will they bring out another air with extra added features soon?

  • in the us the macbook air is cheaper

  • Macbook Air wins!

  • so its ok if i choose d air instead of pro even if i wana edit my movies in FCP....right??? KINDLY HELP....

  • ting ting ting!!

  • i have a pro and my bro has a air i think the pro is was better. and i live in nyc and the pro is about 1,299 and the air is 999

  • I am debating on whether or not to buy a macbook pro later on next month.. But i've heard many rumors that there's going to be another macbook coming out soon. Is this true? If so would it be near the middle or end of the year? Thanks in advance!

  • stupid guy-the air is more expensive because its thinner,has an SSD and lighter, stopped watching at 3 mins

  • When is the new mac book pro out 2012?

  • Of course Pro is better, you even hear it on the name ;)

  • @firendable air jordan

  • @MrFrankyJoe Better on what?

  • Can i connect a macbook pro/mba to my tv with hdmi? (full hd lg) pls reply

  • @lenteboom yes!

  • how much will u weigh if u put an iphone, an iPod, an iPad, and a MacBook Air

  • his voice is annoying :/

  • i don't know at first i was thinking mac-book pro then i watched this and now i"m thinking air haha i think they are relatively similar and air is $200 less

  • Even though I can barely understand what your saying, I'm still subscribing.

  • @wemakepies barely understand??...what a twat

  • you have the same printer as me!! :D

  • Will the resolution on the MBP be any higher on the 2012 version?

  • @milkyskin yes. macrumors mention all new macs should be getting retina!

  • What one would be better for poducing music?

  • @Danger3music both!

  • @Hizkiyah What if i want to use logic pro? would it be better if i used a pro or air? in the long run what would work out the best?

  • Getting air tomorow

  • not that anyone will be doing this, but it'd be nice to run itunes or even a movie in the background while doing a single PS highres image with 50+ steps already in place

  • Awesome vid, just bought the top of the range Air yesterday after spending hours trying to choose between it and 13" pro, so I saw this a bit too late but it makes me feel better about getting the Air when it eventually arrives in the post! Cheers

  • using a macbook pro 13"... suddenly wanting a macbook air 11" :3

  • thanskssss man! youve changed my mind in this vid...im ordering myne in a couple days!!!:)

  • What date in 2011 did that mac book pro come out?

  • He was clicking on the mac bookmair befor the pro..... He

  • some body please respond to this: do macbook airs 2011 have a backlit keyboard? plz respond!

  • @MrEcct yes they do.

  • @theunits3 thank you'!! youve changed my mind in this video and am ordering it in a couple weeks!!:)

  • @theunits3 why would you lie about macbook air having backlit keyboard? they dont

  • @cannydd yes they do you must be outa the loop

  • @theunits3 neck on neck so would it be fair to count my Mid 2010 MBP vs a 2011 MBA

  • @theunits3 BTW I hope By buying a MPA I can pack a tad bit more power than my Current MBP?

  • @MrEcct Yes they do.

  • @MrEcct yes!

  • lol Xbox

  • 6:53 to 7:08 made me laugh so hard. lol

  • I got a high end macbook pro. It cant run bf3 without crashing cuz of overheat so. I wont game on it from now on, but its ok cuz i have a gaming pc and consoles...im ditching my macbook pro to buy an Air today...thanks for this review

  • Cool accent

  • AIR ROCKS !!!

    

  • Yes but if you upgrade macbook pro then it'll be faster. Right? So i'm going for macbook pro because i need high performance like for running games like battlefield 3 or etc... Cool video :)

  • @6269352998 True. Especially with 16GB ram, and SSD, then its a beast.

  • Macbook air sicks!

  • Sheesh! His accent is strong.

  • You sound like Soap MacTavish. i love Scotland!

  • mac book air raped the mac book pro plus i prefer the air because of the higher resolution

  • Groundskeeper Willie's son :D

  • Because of price, I think I'm going for the macbook air.. but how is the heating and noise on the macbook air? + It can't handle a bit of gaming?

  • I hope the Macbook Air doesn't break when I drop it...

  • How is that KEYBOARD COLOURFULL of macbook pro ?

  • Would Photoshop and Microsoft Office make the Macbook Air slower?

    And what would take for the Air to become slow?

  • which laptop heats up quicker when watching films or running programs?

  • The macbook air is the best computer I have ever used. I would really recommend it as a laptop for a student. It's lightweight, but still manages to be a little beast inside.

  • nice review, one question a quick reply would really help im buying this weekend. Im currently in my first year of uni, no graphic related studies so the mac is just an update of my current laptop - and will mainly be used for simply word processing, social networking and music. with this said as mac isnt windows will i have to fork out more for there version of microsoft office?

    thanks

  • @XxBanksy actually i think the microsoft office for mac is cheaper :$ im not sure

  • what for accent is this? :P

  • @woodenNL I wanna say scottish??..?? I could be wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • So which one?

  • I regret buying the MacBook Pro 13 Inch versus the MacBook Air 13 Inch. My Pro seems way slower than it should be and the Air would have more that completed that tasks that I use my Pro for and is a lot more appealing in terms of aesthetics to me. I wish I could do a swap with Apple.

  • air is slightly faster

  • Hi there, I am a graduate design student and been using my Toshiba laptop throughout my 5 years of studying, but I'm wanting a new laptop for the new year. I have an imac 24inch which I am getting rid of as well as my Toshiba laptop, because I am moving overseas. I really like the thinnest of the mac book air considering it'll be easier for me to lug around from home to work, but hence being a designer my main concern is if it would be fast enough for rendering and 3D modelling programs? thanks

  • @Nakedpetals i get where your coming from. Theres most probably going to be a Macbook Pro refresh (major redesign) come Q1 of 2012. So, if you can hold out - then it'd be worth the wait. That said, the MBA's are pretty beastly - if you haven't already done so, check the speed tests and photoshop tests which i've done on the channel :)

  • @theunits3 I Its actually going to be Q2 most likely. Ivy Bridge was delayed until May so I'm guessing the new BBPs come out late may.

  • @theunits3 MBP*

  • @theunits3 When you say major redesign.. are we talking about exterior redesign? Or just internals like screen, etc.

  • @upiluften complete major exterior redesign. It'll be worth the wait.

  • @theunits3 Damn.. I really need a new computer. Trying to decide if I should just get the current MB Pro and then sell it in a year after the new MB Pro comes out.. and accept the loss. Or just get a cheap inter-rim PC solution, and hold out till Q1/Q2 2012. It's already Q1 2012.. actually.

  • @Nakedpetals im a design graduate student bla bla bla , shut up u bell end like any one cares just ask which is better were not interested in your geekey lifestyle bla bla fuck off.

  • @Nakedpetals How is your experiencie with the toshiba? im a graphic desing student and i would like to get a toshiba, do you recommend it?

  • @VlogdelaLula I highly recommend Toshiba's! They are a very reliable brand. I have the A350 satellite, it's easy to upgrade rams compared to apple products, I'm a huge apple fan but all the rendering programs I used are only capable with windows. All my university friends had Hewlett Packard laptop's and every one of them had problems with them within a year. I've had mine for four years with no problem but defiantly get an extension on the warranty. Hope this helps :)

  • Like!

  • thumbs up if your watching this on your mac

  • @rana4121 I wish.. Fuck pc's

  • In love with the accent....Great video by the way:)

  • @quirkfulquagmire thanks :D. Happy holidays!

  • which would u recomend for video editing??

  • @007Darkstar95 they both have imovie which can make trailers and everything

  • This guy is so awesome

  • got the air for xmas

    

  • @MrPipes14 congrats!

  • wow that sucks -.- i thought the Pro would be faster but its not the case... im buying a new laptop should i get the Pro or Air?

  • 13 inches

  • I just bought the macboook air :-) I am super excited!

  • I prefer the Macbook pro

  • Dude I just bought the MacBook pro

  • do you think Apple would ever come out with a 512 GB (64GB x 8) MacBook Air 13 with the new IvyBridge processors?!?! it's obviously hard to say, but I think it'd be a great thing for Apple to do.

  • Great video! I was wondering of how the Macbook air 13 compares to the 11, aside from the battery which I believe lasts only 5 hours in the Macbook air 11. I need the laptop mostly for business but since I’m a photographer too, I am looking for a powerful machine to put everything on and be able to use it anywhere, since I’m hardly at home! Can the SSD be upgraded in the Macbook air? Thanks

  • @halshazly I don't believe that the ssd can be upgraded in the Air but science you are a photographer I would strongly recomend the Macbook Pro because of the screen, processor, and the pure power/ storage of the device.

  • @halshazly The SSD can indeed be upgraded in the Airs but at a cost. OWC offer flash storage solutions for the MBAs - google 'OWC for Macbook Air' and you'll get your answer ;).

  • @theunits3 im saving my money to get one out of both and im asking witch one should i get in the future. im planning to be photographer when i get older and i move alot around the place and play games. witch one should i get?

  • @SWEETJELLO246 same. My Uni wants me to get a 15-inch, but I've been using various size laptops/netbooks recently with no problem, plus I prefer the lighter weight, so i can can carry my lens, camera aswell as the laptop in one bag, I'm thinking I'll get the the Air/Macbook Pro 2012 (if they do merge) and an 21-inch iMac. That will suite my photography nicely.

  • @SWEETJELLO246 Also, I'm in contact with tons of professional photographers on Google+ and many of they are getting Airs now. Actually a lot seem to be getting 11-inch ones! Yikes. :D I'm gonna wait though in see what the 2012 ones will be.

  • The MacBook pro starting price is 1,199 the MacBook air starting price is at $999

  • For me, the price of either will be the same for what I want, so it comes down to what I use it for. I'm not going to be doing any real heavy lifting with my laptop, so I would go with the MacBook Air . I like the screen better and it seems more practical ( that glossy screen is a bitch). It comes down to what you want though

  • the macbook air is a little too light
