MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air: Speed Test

[bakdjkafgs]

i am wondering why your mac 13 makes that disk sounding noise when you rebooted it. I just got my MAC and it does that know... after i uploaded the software it told me to restart and it did this BeeeeeeeP! then that sound then it turned on and off 3-5 times... now it just makes that sound you have... what happened?

[kostaschicagobulls]

can you test the mac mini vs the macbook pro? thanks for all of your reviews, for me the best reviews on youtube my fellow michiganian!

[xXIProtoTYP3IXx]

I have tried YAHOO! Answers Bing and I even went back to google, NOTHING!!! Maybe DetroitBORG or somebody can help, can I get a plug in for my USB to make it have more USB ports? Kinda like on the PS2 where you pluged in this little thing where the remotes go and you can have more than 2 people playing split-screen.

[AnimalCrossingCool4]

@xXIProtoTYP3IXx A USB hub?

[CrangyProductions]

Is the new Macbook pro 13 Okay if i just gonna Play Left 4 Dead 2 on it and go on the Internet and use it for school ???

[xdanielpowellmusic]

Whats the cheapest Mac laptop?

[TripleEBattery]

@xdanielpowellmusic air

[lyricsboy123456]

Year! MacBook pro wind!

[AppleFanatic128K]

I'm so glad I have a MacBook Pro. :)

[HusAbd19]

Nice job For this video!!! ;)

[XxAimeeBaybiixX]

College student - Need for lots of coursework and surfing internet - whats best for me??

[Pagra101]

@XxAimeeBaybiixX Air

[MinecraftGameProject]

can you do macbook pro vs mac mini 2011? or macbook air vs mac mini 2011?

[aceneerav]

what brand SSD is this in the MBP?

[aceneerav]

what about the fact that the macbook pro has a better processor? 

[dhoomeslice96]

@MrLuigiomario neither. If you're going to play games get a pc

[Macs4everr]

why does the air have so little GHz?

does it make a difference?

[FukeU1248]

pretty stupid test and yes - Intel SSD is faster then the asian stuff Apple bought for their five year plan

[nkohli061]

Which should a highschooler get

[hussainpilot05]

The Mac book Air wouldn't stand a chance with only half as much ram!!!!!!!

[FukeU1248]

@hussainpilot05 The Air has a Core2, the pro has a i5.

None of them very modern nor fast but the Core 2 is from 2006

[MrLuigiomario]

imac or macbook???for edithing videos and gaming???

[DetroitBORG]

@MrLuigiomario iMac is your best option for those more demanding tasks.

[Ipuffyy]

@MrLuigiomario Imac 27inch with 6970m HD radeon 2GB perfect to run any games ultra settings and a quad core processor 3.1ghz

[0603frey]

No Shit MacBook pro has a faster Processer

[eddman37]

also by reading the description you said that the macbook air had half the ram which if it tryes more processes it will obviously low down more than the macbookpro soo that makes your conclusions about loading invalid

[nick200320]

Hmmm ot good i gonna buy a macbook air soon XD

[firendable]

Pro wins!

[treelizard99]

U must use a 13 inch MacBook air for a fair test

[arsenio3d]

Wich 120 -240GB SSD should i get for the MacBook Pro 13" early 2011?

I found the OCZ agility 3, but theres mixed reviews on the net...

[TheFingersofsteal]

don't bother getting a macbook air... IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

[feetlover149]

how buttons do u press that allow shortvuts to reeboots, standby, bootup etc.

[rokinben]

Just noticed how ugly the macbook airs screen is

[minecraftboy2000]

@rokinben I Just noticed how much the macbook air SUCKS

[thumbsdownish]

@minecraftboy2000 i just noticed how much dick your mom sucks

[CSSProductionszz]

You know actually this is just about seconds...

I don't mind about 1 second...

But thanks for the vid i really enjoyed it and i think i'm going to buy a macbook air because it's more portable and i have already got an iMac

[johnniepoogray]

gay



[RandeepHothi]

Air

[MultiButtsniffer]

wich is better ?

[MrEcct]

@MultiButtsniffer macbook air is better in my opinion

[iPLAYtheSTAT1ON]

@MrEcct Pro does/has more.

[firendable]

@iPLAYtheSTAT1ON IS pro better than air?

[tklollollol]

do the speed test just like u did ur video up there ^

[tklollollol]

and no ssd just standard 15 in

[tklollollol]

can you please do a detailed speed test with the macbook pro 15 in please like do xbench and browsing web multi tasking and all that if you can

[Flames406]

@sjiyuey sorry to say but the lowest for a Mac is $600 and that's is a Mac mini. If you want a laptop like the ones in the video they range from $1000-$1500.

[sjiyuey]

what is the best mac laptop for about 400 or 500 dollars

[skywalker131980]

Diffence happanes when you compare diffrent things...

[adsybro]

You could have told us at 1:08 that there was a seizure caution i just died!!!!

[llparasitell]

@adsybro lol you seriously cant look at a little 1X1 in' box in a 5x5 in' video that is spamming colors ?o.O

[zaidxii]

You can get the same RAM, SSD and CPU on the air making them equal in speed

currently the processor of the macbook air is the same as pro

do this test with laptops that have the same specifications.

[iReCKleSz7]

@DetroitBORG Hi I Will Be Going College Next Year And My Parents Said I Can Get A New Computer But I Don't Know Which One To Get. First Of All Should I Get A iMac Or A Macbook. Secondaly If Macbook, Which One: Pro Or Air? Price Doesn't Really Matter. I Will Be Using The Computer To Do All My Work. Possibly Listen To Music, Watch Some Video's, Surf The Net Etc.. Which One Would You Reccommend.

Thanks Any Help Would Be Much Appreciated. :D Thank You Very Much Great Vid.

[mrshauntham]

@iReCKleSz7

A MBP 13 inch with 256 GB SSD Custom build to order. 13 inch for portability, plus the pro has more ports than the air(more complete), and more future proofed.

[iReCKleSz7]

@mrshauntham thanks for your help :)

[giraffeboi239]

im so going for the pro man!

[grahamrees87]

my name isnt youtube

[semprevermelho]

Great job!

[MJBennett73]

How about you trade one of those laptops in for a girlfriend.

[wozhendehenshuai8]

awesome review

[kiimyxo]

I was planning on getting the macbook pro this sunday but people are saying to wait until 2012? should I? Do you think if its gunna be a big upgrade? please reply!!!!!!!!!!

[japanempirefree]

@kiimyxo yup, don't get it now, personally i don't suggest you macbook air coz it has weak cpu and gnu compared with same year's macbook pro, and if you want to get a macbook pro don't buy it now, the current product line has releases almost one year. wait until 2012 some says the new macbook pro will get huge differences (no optical driver, standard ssd, ivy bridge cpu, thinner unibody etc) all in all, just wait if you don't need it very deadly.

[mrshauntham]

@japanempirefree

The Air and Pro have the same Intel HD 3000 GPU. Both the air and pro have similar performance, which is due to the upgrade to sandy bridge processors from core 2 duos in the Macbook air and the SSD present in the air and not in the pro, which makes the air faster in loading and opening applications and documents as compared to the pro.

[japanempirefree]

@mrshauntham yup but pro has discrete gpus (ATI 6770M, 6750M) which air don't have, this makes huge difference, and 15 and 17 inch pro has true 4 core cpu, air only has 2 core i series with 4 threads.

[dan25511]

can you do another speedtest but with the 2011 mac air please

[najma50000]

You should make a "what's on my mac" video. i just started using the mac app store. and i wanna get some suggestions from you :)

[bkristof910]

alienware m11x more ways better

[gabrielpohl]

macbook pro, best image

[ashellokitty]

i wonder if the pro is still that fast w/o the ssd that he has, i just have all the default stuff it comes w/ and im waiting for it to be delivered.

[ipodlover13ify]

nice man



[jordan5560]

wat computer r u using to edit this video?

[AKidzView]

do this with the new mba please

[MsSmileyStephanie]

this was on my birthday :)

[JackD124]

@MsSmileyStephanie Happy Birthday!!! (:

[kevinscampoli]

THANKYOU. I've been looking for comparisons between MBP w/ SSD vs Air.

[colombiantom]

all i can say is that airbook looks a lot nicer

[brocky]

Would make a significant difference if the MacBook air had 4gb of ram and a 1.8 ghz processor upgrade?

[kalijasin]

You are ignoring the fact that the macbook pro has a significantly faster cpu.

[Mssunnygirl12]

Ok so I'lll get the Macbook pro.

[cussingbatman]

I LOVE MACBOOKS

[K4D38]

The MacBook Air's SSD is faster than the MacBook Pro.. The MacBook Pro's processing speed was just much greater. That's why the Air won in the start up, but lost at loading all of the apps.

[cripincuzz15]

Macbook Air is prettier :D

[TheKkk3kkk]

Very good

[cheekydiva007x]

I really want a Mac but I don't know which one. I want it for school work, music, editing videos and apps. What do u recommend? :)

[jamesk14022]

@cheekydiva007x Macbook pro! :D

[georgelikesmusic]

looks like you got a MB Air with a Toshiba SSD

[ElJefedeJefes9]

Not a fair or useful comparison, if any it should be the 4 gig macbook air in this video, not the 2 gig

[gizzywoz]

People watchingnthis recently to helpnthem decide let me tell you some things, the macbook air in this video is last years whereas now it has an i5 processor and as always an SSD, without making upgrades, this macbook pro has been upgraded with an SSD and off the shelf does not have one, this will effect boot up times, opening apps etc... To install an SSD to a pro costs an additional few hundred £/$s... Without the air may be faster on some of these steps

[SuperQuin2010]

i know its not a "gaming" computer, but is it able to sufficiently game for a kid like me who wants to play games here and there?

[ethanbarro]

The point is a difference of couple of hundred bucks between the Air and Pro, why would anyone sacrifice the performance level that pro offers in exchange of the thin design of the Air, the Air is netbook version of Mac. . . plus an additional optical drive you get from pro. duhhh macbook pro no doubt is a better choice.

[myhsn777]

Macbook air is a faster netbook

[JAP996]

@zxasqw10  cheers :3

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

please do this with the new macbook air... if you can

[DetroitBORG]

@SOLE1PRODUCTIONS I will, thanks for the suggestion.

[JAP996]

You sound a little like Curmit the Frog LOL!! (Is that how you spell it?)

[zxasqw10]

@JAP996 Kermit* :)

[twilightfan0150]

if you have better loading on the macbook pro and you perfer the macbook pro,why do you have the makbook air? thumbs up if you agree

[MetroSniffStudios]

But... Will it blend?

[melody2001100]

whatever i'm getting air

[MonsterizeMe]

Thank you very much! This video helps me a lot! I'll buy a macbook pro then! :)

[LoveLyricalRideX]

AWESOME COMPARISON REVIEWS FOR BOTH THE MACBOOK PRO & MACBOOK AIR!

YES INDEED MACBOOK PRO HAS THE FASTER SSD & BETTER PROCESSOR THEREFORE I'M ALSO USING THE MACBOOK PRO AWESOME!!

^.^

[LoveLyricalRideX]

THUMBS-UP IF YOU'RE ALSO USING ''MACBOOK PRO 13"

[mastercheif462]

Mac OS X=epic

[mastercheif462]

MacBook Air=toy

[c0d6m8]

nice video man... finally a person with a fast macbook pro lol

[SeamusVideo]

Hi, great video again, just wondering since you ran COD 4, how does the 13" MBP perform whilst playing COD 4 online using the highest graphics settings?

[raoufst1]

HEY GUYS...

WHAT'S YOUR IDEA ABOUT MACBOOK'S GRAPHIC ?

THE INTEL GRAPHIC IS GOOD FOR GAME'S THAT NEED A STRONG GRAPHIC ?

[xOogieBoogie3x]

Apple sucks ass, they rip you off

[MarMarDance101]

Ya can you do the same test with the new MacBook air

[ma10asWa]

hey, just wondering if you could do the same vid with the new macbook air. think this will be a lot faster, as it has the i7dualcore, rather than the C2D :)

[tomthecat94]

Both of these are light-year faster than my 3 year old white MacBook; I'll just take whichever's cheaper. ._.

[yugo74870]

Will my macbook pro ever get slow when i get files onto the laptop?

[hadman67]

which one is better?

[yugo74870]

@hadman67 macbook pro FTW :D

[hadman67]

@yugo74870 thanks



[yugo74870]

@hadman67 No prob :D

[hadman67]

@yugo74870 i now im gonna buy the pro

[hadman67]

@yugo74870 and im gonna get the pro

[sokka22]

by any chance could you do the same test with the new mba 1.8 Ghz i7??

I'm going to college next year so i wont be playing any high performance games, maybe TF2 or sumthin? Which one should I go for? Opinions anyone?

[aberbear]

I was holding out for the new MacBook air and decided at the last minute to get the MacBook pro

[MonsterEatingBoy]

at 1:13 what program are you using to test the visuals???

[splashx]

How long was that movie being exported?

[MrNu287]

thank for that video

[itsruw]

Seriously, what a bullshit test. The SSD in the MacBook Air is just as good as the one in the Pro, if not better (it boots faster). "They are equally configured" WTF??? How the fuck can u compare a 1,4 GHz C2D with a 2,3 GHz i5 Sandybridge. Oh right u cant. Wow amazing u found out that with the i5 programs launch faster! Ur a genius -.-

[AKidzView]

How much is call of duty 4 in the Mac AppStore

[ThatGuyCalledBradC]

Umm im trying to decide between a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air, i am a musician and will use Logic Pro and Pro tools alot i know that getting the macbook pro would allow me to mix, edit etc. my music faste but i would like tohave the macbook air because i am still a student and would need to take it to school alot. Can you please give me your opinion?

[JusTiiNBeaVveR]

thanks for your help it was a great video :)

[soniccinos]

It's realy unfair to compare a i5 2.3GHz CPU with a 1.4GHz C2D CPU

[rrarhes]

@soniccinos its not about that.. its about HELPING PPL GETTING MBP or MPA...

[mobinmahmoudi]

@soniccinos yeah and MBP is sandy bridge CPU and air is core 2 duo, not even close. compare it with new mac book airs with 1.8 Ghz core i5 and see witch one is faster.

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

u convinced me im getting the pro with a 2.7

[tobyzieglerrr]

This is really one of the worst head to head tests i have ever seen.

You are mixing apples (no pun intended) with oranges ... whoowww

Big thumbs down!

[cmfsimlover]

3 questions : #1: does ssd make the macbooks run faster if it does i am intrested what does it coast? #2 how do i get more memory on my macbookpro? #3 i dont know if u have heard of the video game sims3 for pc if u have if i download it will my mac slow down? plz answer i need the answers

[offlinerockstar]

Thanks for making this awesome video test.

I have been searching for hours to compare the base MacBook air to my old MacBook Pro (October 2006)

CPU: 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

RAM: 2GB

Here are the results I got using XBench:

Overall Score: 97.99

Disk Test: 26.65

CPU Test: 150

My MacBook Pro is still going strong and only needed a new battery and Apple replaced my graphic card after they were having problems a few years back.

[swordv]

Great vid was thinking about trading in my MBA for the new MBP's 15" and this vid gives me the info i need!

[thomasizpimpin]

That's why I got a MacBook Pro.

[JimmySamGuitar]

Awesome vid! But do I see like a transparent plastic surrounding the MBP? If so, please tell me what it is? :)

[theceltics]

I understand your testing, but the two machines were built for completely different uses:MBP can be used as a primary machine, but the MBA was created for size, weight, and ease of portability. Kind of a moot point. You're comparing a $1,000 computer to a $1,500 computer. I would have rather seen the $1,000 MacBook and $1,000 MBA compared, those are two more equally matched machines.

[JMxE15]

Shouldnt you have had the macbook air have 128ssd and 4gb of ram? You bought the updated version of macbook pro but not macbook air. So it isn't exactly that fair

[Mattdude411]

I finally have both newest generations and after using it quite a bit I like the MacBook Pro a lot better for some reason.

[antonspi]

i want the air but will it get slower after like a couple of years of use?

[razrv3lc]

Those things are too small, I couldn't stand it!

[bozaka1]

why do you have normal twitter and tweet deck booted up at the same time?

[declique]

How stupid can you be to compare a MBP 13 with a MBA 11 which costs 500$ less.

[thelilgummybear]

this would kill my desktop

[espnchris]

fuuuuuck i wanted air to be faster or at lease give it a challang

[Zeaded]

I like the tag "call of duty" lol

[rubix63]

you should of upgrade the ssd your self, get an intel 510 ssd and the read speed is 500 mb/s

[Th3L0st0ne]

hey, have you checked the MBP 13" temperatures? Does it heat up too much? I would like to know because my current Dell heats up too much and crashes, so I am interested in MBP 13"

[ferrariexpert]

@Th3L0st0ne normally mac book pro's cool down quick. I don't own one but from personal use Mac's would usually cool down really quickly. Hope my advice helped. ;)

[StarWarsPlace]

@Th3L0st0ne All of the Apple laptops tend to overheat. (They have terrible ventilation.) But the are still great machines. If you do decide to get a MBP, download smc.fancontrol for it. It lets you adjust the speed of your fan to help cool off your processor.

[WestcoastMusicals]

@StarWarsPlace Also get a fan pad for any laptop,they are only 20 bucks,external fan pad.

[Haroldp72]

Wow great video review. I was totally blown away when you launched call of duty. I have the 27" imac but was thinking about geting the new macbook pro or macbook air. Thanks very much for the insight.

[iloveyutimes100]

this helped A LOT thankyou (:

[mrandrewmills]

Why is the MacBook Pro like a major third higher in pitch that the Air at boot-up?

[huntercoolican]

@mrandrewmills I noticed that. It must be the sound quality. 

[12osman34]

But; Pro is 13" and Air is 11.6" -- And it's not compare between that.

[Rubr1k]

The photos you imported into iPhoto, photos of the Macbook Pro, are they available online?

[akashstephen99]

Sir One more thing which Superdrive is better MBP OR the optional Superdrive on MBA

[qyzarq]

Hey, is this video a fair comparison look at the RAM and processor difference?

[qyzarq]

Hey, is this video a fair comparison look at the RAM and processor difference?

[akashstephen99]

Sir ,

i have a problem should i buy the macbook pro or macbook air PLEASE

[MohammeddKhan]

@akashstephen99 Pro, You won't be happy with air it is soo easy to break

[DetroitBORG]

@akashstephen99 Hard to say, I honestly prefer my MBA, but that's because my iMac is my workhorse. If this is your primary computer, i'd get the MBP.

[akashstephen99]

@DetroitBORG Thankx a lot sir, I never thought you would reply. You are the best

[Ross19148]

Where did u buy CoD 4 my friends say that the disc won't work for Mac so please help me!! BTW I suscribd

[MrStifstof]

@Ross19148 App store :)

[DetroitBORG]

@Ross19148 Yep, bought it from the Mac App Store.

[propel1024]

wow those are super accurate time estimations that apple gives in iMovie!

[Warrantti]

It is a good thing that Apple dumbs old processors to macbook air and sell it high price. Otherwise old processors that left over just would end up in landfill...

[kpeshin1]

I'm the student type but likes a good solid battery as well as decent performance, how's the battery on this?
