Well, my personal opinion is to go for the Macbook Pro. To me, it's just a more solid machine. I've had 1 for just about a year now, and it's really growing on me. I looked at a macbook air at the Apple store, and just didn't like the feel of it. If you're worried about speed, I understand that you could put an SSD into a macbook pro, but so far, I haven't found a genuine need to do that. I guess it depends on what you're planning to do. Also, I think the macbook Pro has slightly better sound, just based on my memories of looking at the air at the store, I was not impressed by its sound quality. I also like my pro because it still has the CD/DVD drive as well as an sd card slot. I just think that for the money, the pro is the best machine out there, but I'm sure others will provide opinions as well. Good luck with your purchase, and I hope this helps you a little. Missy

I'm about to get a mac laptop, in the next few days. But i'm torn between MBP 13inch and MBA. my question is, what Mac will be the best? Either the MBP13inch, MBA13inch with 128GB, or MBA11Inch 128GB? I know the spects for all these three are very similar, and i also know that MBA will operate somewhat faster in live time compare to MBP, more portable, etc. I also know that mbp is great for post processing, and heavy duty usage such as vedeo edditing etc etc. As this will be the very first Mac notebook that i own, and coming from the windows screen reader for laptop background, i'm interested to know, if voiceover will slow any of the mbp or mba down from the specs performance? As my windows brain kick in, sort of telling me that the greater processer, memory, will be better as far as screen reader is concern. i'll mainly using it for studying e.g. research, browsing, word processer etc purposes, however, i also uses it for audio edditing, and basic photo edditing as well. The size of the storage doesn't really effect me as much, however, who would say no to a bigger size harddrive? The optical drive also not the priority, as i have a 4 year old IMac sitting at home as my desttop. All of your advice is very much appreciated.
