Subject: Re: macbook pro or macbook air?
That's not necessarily so. While you get more hard disk space
and a faster processor, the Pro is significantly thicker and
heavier than the Air, and boots up more slowly owing to still
using a mechanical hard drive. I got to play a bit with an Air
last week, and the solid state drive really makes a huge
difference in how quickly things open. Safari just popped up
instantly, and I really do mean instantly. So if you don't have
a lot of storage needs to carry with you, and really need
something light and very portable, the Air may well be just what
you need. Of course, if you need an everyday machine for
production and storing lots of stuff, an Air is definitely not a
good fit at all. I'd love to have an Air for a second machine,
but I don't think it would be appropriate as a primary machine.
Yep, I do love my Macbook Pro, but I showed remarkable restraint
in not buying an Air.

Hi:
The Pro gives you more bang for your buck. Go with the Pro.

Hello Steph,
The MacBook Air has no DVD drive, no FireWire, just two USB
ports. On the plus side, it's incredibly thin and light.
If you have no other computer, the MacBook Pro is a much better
machine, and you can have a much bigger hard drive in it too.
I've just ordered a MacBook Air, but I already have a MacBook
and a MacBook Pro available to me, as well as several external
hard drives of various types.
It's all a matter of preference and needs.
Cheers,
Anne

What are the differences between these two machines? My macbook
pro I'd had for 2 years. The kids spilt something on it, and the
apple retrailer said it's not repaira. So i'm in the market for
a new machine.
