At that time, you can get the new one, or take advantage of deals on the older ones (what is now the current model). In other words, the iPads likely won't be updated for a while, but the MacBooks could be updated soon. If you're thinking of a Mac, I'd wait until the end of the year to see what changes. I, too, don't really see the advantage of the Pro over the Air2 for a blind user. The Pro has a more powerful CPU and better graphics performance, certainly, but other than that it has little the Air2 doesn't. It comes in the larger screen size, which I suppose could work out for those needing a good deal of screen enlargement. As to Macs, people have already described the differences. For a more thorough and (maybe overly) detailed breakdown, see my guide to all of Apple's Mac computers: http://www.applevis.com/guides/miscellaneous/explaining-myriad-models-macs > On Jul 9, 2016, at 05:55, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Hi Max, > > The air is either 11 or 13 inch screan size, > With a less powerfull I5 or I7 processor range, > Starting at 128 gb hard drive up to 512 gb drive space, both use PCE flash > storage > And up to 8gb ram. > > Note the up to is considered a custom build and has to be ordered as they > only have sertain machines as general builds. > > The 11 inch has 2 usb 3 ports and 1 thunderbolt where as the 13 inch has the > same plus an sd card slot on the right edge. > > They are thiner around 1.1 KG approx. 2 pounds, > And a great battery life > > The pros are more powerfull processors, coming in 13, 15 & 17 inch screan > sizes, > And the other specs like ram and harddrive space go up in stages also. > > As do the prices. > > I have a 11inch air which has full specs of I7 processor, 8gb ram and 512gb > hard drive space and it’s great I get approx. 7 hours of life out of it when > using windows and more than that if using the mac osx unless I’m watching tv > or movies in which case things drop by about 25% > > The air is really an entry level product but has guts to work hard. > > The pro is for the power user and slightly heavier at around 2Kg in weight. > > Depending on what your doing most people can get away with the air but as I > said it depends on your kind of usage. > > > From: 'Maxwell Ivey' via MacVisionaries > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] > Sent: Saturday, 9 July 2016 2:43 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: mac book pro, mac book air, or iPad pro? > > i think a mac book is still right for me. next question is what are the > differences between the pro and air. thanks, max > On Jul 8, 2016, at 9:23 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > > > The iPad Pro is 12.9 inches.
