Macbook Air or Pro - the difference between the two Apple notebook is not only the name. Read in this comparison, what are the similarities and differences of the two laptops and for whom which model is.

The Display
Macbooks with Retina-Screen Macbooks with Retina-Screen Both the Macbook Air as well as the Macbook Pro are available in multiple sizes and Processor timings available. With a screen size of 11.6" is the Macbook Air ultramobil and easily in your briefcase, messenger bag or backpack store, while the Macbook Pro with a screen size 15.4" as Desktop replacement serve; Apple offers even a model with a 17-inch screen size, but also with hefty 3000 Euro effect.

  • A display size, they share Macbooks: 13,3". This size provides a good compromise between mobility and Desktop replacement.
  • To date (spring 2013), there's the extremely high resolution of the Retina Display only in Macbook - who value on super-sharp-in media player or Apple device to image and video processing needs, the Retina Macbook is not over. However, rumor has it that Apple is the Retina Display in future also in the Air-models build.
Dimensions and weight
Light and flat: Macbook Air, light and flat: Macbook Air During the Macbook Pro performance is designed to convince the Macbook Air is quite clear in terms of mobility. This is reflected in dimensions and weight again: 13,3"variant is the Macbook Air to 300 grams lighter and 1.6 mm thinner than a Macbook Pro with the same screen size.

Due to its compact form, the Macbook Air SSD (flash memory technology). Compared to the conventional (mechanical) hard drives offers the benefits of this technology: it has lower power consumption, is little more vulnerable in case of Fall, and provides faster Write and read rates. Compromise, however, you must storage capacity: The Macbook Air has a maximum of 512 GB, while the Macbook Pro with 750 GB can purchase. The lower capacity makes the Macbook Air, however, the faster and newer flash memory technology up for that.
