13" MacBook Pro vs 13" MacBook Air

[Callofkid]

Which one is better for downloading things and gaming

[xdanielpowellmusic]

I just want a laptop that runs fast when i open the internet and go on youtube and stuff. Which one wins?

[BukasPaladMusic]

@xdanielpowellmusic The machine with an SSD. So the Air (unless you pay extra for a MBP with SSD)

[Macs4everr]

the macbook pro is better for home use but the NEW air is good if your a traveller,

good comparison :)

[awkwardturtleftw]

MacBook Air or Pro for uni?

[antzz1077]

@awkwardturtleftw Air if you take it in every day. Pro if you use it for home as well i.e you use it as your "pc" and "uni laptop".

[Kathyandjully]

Its funny how they turned on the macbook pro first and the macbook air still went faster

[MrEcct]

macbook air or pro?!! answer please! im ordirin a cuople days!!?

[AttackTheMic]

@MrEcct Wow, this video should help you make that decision. It's all on what you would want.

[bobphillips99]

@MrEcct if storage isn't an issue, MACBOOK AIR! they come with core i5 or i7 and the ssd makes them super quick. i love mine!

[123456789dulys]

Im getting a MacBook air 13"

[mrworms3d]

whats the macbook pro better at?

[AttackTheMic]

@mrworms3d Video editing and exporting, gaming, things that require higher processing power.

[TheCody013]

Use your words

[pcfan115]

[Megangomez21]

How can you afford to buy both macbooks? I'm trying to save up my money :/. That will take so long.

[Randomguy578]

[Y0UngA55isin]

The macbook air is for travel users and the pro is for home useres

[ydk2app]

[SOxxLegit]

[legendaryhero99]

What should I get? I usually. 1.play games. 2. Write papers 3. Research. 4. Listen to music

[joshmvfx]

the air is faster but the pro is definatley better

[mememe12356]

i won't the thicker one becouse i think id brake the slim one

[TheKWK101]

I want a MacBook Pro, but I'm 11 and don't have the money, and there is no way EVER that my parents will get one for me or the family. ):

Apple products are just amazing.

Wonder if they will still be good without Steve Jobs around.

Thank you for making awesomeness, Steve Jobs.

[BlueMoose05]

you dont say anything?? how are we supposed to know?

[weixiaotiffy]

i think i'll wait until the macbook pro gets an SSD. i think its a good difference worth having

[edrialsheila]

So...... Which is the better MacBook

[alleycat92113]

Some music would have been nice. Yes the air is fast but I'm sure by now everyone knows in every other aspect the pro is far superior. Nice vid simple I like that.

[nikahatt]

Thank you so much! This video is VERY simple unlike the other ones by other ppl on YouTube but you have helped me make my decision on whether I should get an Air or a Pro!

[POJAC3]

good job

[iHarry99]

awesome!! i was tryin to decide whether to get an air or a pro for christmas but know i know. thanks mate!! 

[alexma90]

I have been considering getting the MBA because of the size and weight. Since it will be my first mac I have no idea which one will be perfect.

So which will make a perfect choice MBA or MBP???

[razzo161]

Was that air running a ssd?

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

What is the battery life on the air?

[JeremyMacGregor]

Hi there. I'm tossing up between a 13" MBP and a 13" MBA. The Air has a higher resolution, however I have heard that the color gamut is not nearly as impressive as the MBP - your thoughts?

[momoz88]

I wonder how does RAW files handle on the MBA! If tweaking them is responsive enough, I may consider getting one.

[RememberMe2465]

Why is the keyboard in MacBook air silver

[n4rgalzius]

@RememberMe2465 its not silver, it's just the keyboard cover reflecting the light :)

[HaztaUK]

what would u suggest cos i am considering both

use the laptop on my lap , never really on a desk or table

occasionally video editing

youtube HD streaming

and a tad bit of gameing here and there

what would you suggest for me ?

thanks :)

[n4rgalzius]

@HaztaUK assumning you don't have a desktop, I'd say a MBP. If you have a desktop and could do your gaming/video editing there, then consider the Air

[TheLadyInTheRedScarf]

Which one is better cause I don't care about portability..

[UltimateBummyBear]

@TheLadyInTheRedScarf If you don't care about portability then macbook air is basically garbage for you, still with the macbook pro since it's basically better in performance.

[TweFoji]

@TheLadyInTheRedScarf

then it's obvious, your answer is Macbook Pro

[n4rgalzius]

@TheLadyInTheRedScarf MBP if portability/size isn't an issue

[assoiscool]

how has 28000 songs ?? OMG

[TheUberSubber]

MBA is a reasonable contender, I guess the biggest thing it lacks is a superdrive. Without it, you read any disks. You would be able to say 'You can buy the external one' , but do you really want to lug that around with it, when you can just get a Macbook Pro which has it inbuilt. Yes, it doesn't have an SSD, but do you really think sacrificing 100GB+ and a Superdrive for a little bit faster speeds is worth it?

Just my opinion.

[n4rgalzius]

@TheUberSubber

Faster AND much lighter.

You'd be surprised how less and less CDs are needed nowadays in favor for thumbdrives.

I guess at the end is you should know how YOU yourself use your computer and decide on what's best for you. As for me, I almost never needed a CD drive since the day i bought the Air, and I still haven't filled the HDD halfway

For all it's worth I used to be on a 15" MBP (unibody)

[iiperento]

@n4rgalzius hey nice thoughts! But my question is for what actions u will recomend the MBP and for what actions will recomend MBA? tnx!

impressive thoughts again

[livingtri]

@n4rgalzius Totally agree with you on your advice!

Wow. Thats interesting, because I've currently got a week old Macbook Air 13" 2011 model and loving it. But I'm kind of considering going for a 15" Macbook Pro 2010/2011 instead due to the larger screen and the nicer looking screen...which to me is very inviting.

[windowwiper96]

@TheUberSubber A little faster? Add all those seconds up, a little goes a long way.

[TheUberSubber]

@windowwiper96 In real life situations it isn't necessary, while CD's while still be needed for this generation of computers. This in the end is up to the consumer, and his environment.

[walkerdarin2003]

How did you setup iTunes to run over the network (you have all your content on a mac mini or something?)

[n4rgalzius]

@walkerdarin2003 The whole library is in a Drobo :)

[anderacpharmd]

Any trouble playing videos on the MBA? I have the first gen MAB - I love the size of it, but it has always had trouble playing videos (streaming or DVD). After about 45 min the computer gets very hot and the video becomes jerky (sometimes sooner). Also, does the new MBA get very hot? and how about no backlit keyboard?

[n4rgalzius]

@anderacpharmd No problems with video (watching that is) I never tried doing extensive editing though... since I use the desktop for that.

As far as heat goes, yes, it does heat up, but I wouldn't say it's very hot.

There's NO backlit keyboard.

HTH

[slyguy011572]

SSD drive is SO much faster...

[sanjeevmeadowlands]

ENJOYED the comparison man! good job!

[n4rgalzius]

@sanjeevmeadowlands Glad you liked it :)

[Helgonet1234]

Good video, thanks for that! Nice of you to show a bit more than just boot up like everyone else. Interesting to see comparisons of all those apps being launched, reboot and recovery from sleep.

[gofightlose]

wow. I never really gave thought as to how much of a difference it would make. I've heard the next mbp line will most likely be ssd.

[brooped]

That "response to power switch" is due to the HDD, not any "switch lag" or anything so it should be a part of the test. Your MBP really has a 256 GB HDD? Also, that 128 GB SSD is an SSD, not an HDD. HDD and SSD are different. SSD is not a variation of an HDD.

Apart from that stuff, nice test.

[n4rgalzius]

@brooped Thanks for the input. I believe I put "Solid State HDD" since I was under the impression that HDD is a hard disk drive (was thinking generally)... so saying "solid state hard disk drive" still seemed correct to my mind. But thanks for the correction if in fact this is the wrong thing to say :)

Yes, the MBP has a 256GB HDD, but brand new, so apart from the installed applications, it has never been used (i.e. prolly no file clutter, etc.)

[ati2022]

which wallpaper is that on the macbook air can you link it to me plz i really liked it a lot

[illicitjmoskid44]

For my first mac should I get the Macbook Pro or Macbook Air. Advice Please I have 2 weeks

[n4rgalzius]

@illicitjmoskid44 If it's your first mac ALWAYS get a powerful one. So I'd say if you can't get a desktop, get the MBP.

[illicitjmoskid44]

@n4rgalzius Haha that comment was 6 months ago lol!!! I got MBP 13 for christmaS!!!! Best machine eva!!!

[djpablito]

@n4rgalzius why should the first mac always be a powerful one? Just curious.

[MrMasterelemental]

@illicitjmoskid44 well i would recommed macbook air cuz you can takee it to school and cuz it's light and cuz of it's graphics and cuz of it's '' almost no ports'' thing, e.t.c. just but macbook air! oh, you've already bought one! im too late, aw :(

[iljorgeruiz]

MacBook Air is quiet faster than the MacBook Pro

[warnock881]

@iljorgeruiz

No... No it's not

[justintrumpet21]

Very impressive results for the Macbook Air.
