[MyNormalVideos]

@MegaWinnieGirl yeah

[MegaWinnieGirl]

@MyNormalVideos Yeah but macbook pro still looks sleek and sexy :p.

[BigSneakySnake]

Ugh, that godawful default iMovie font.

[Cursedblood90]

@amaaaaaaad It isn't. I just ran Xbench on my Macbook Air 13" 2011, and it won vs Macbook Pro 13" 2011, and I even got the slow SSD in my Macbook Air

[MyNormalVideos]

look how thin the macbook air many things don't fit in it but macbook pro is thicker

[amaaaaaaad]

I dont think its a fair comparison. Why compare things from different generations?
