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. The 13 - or. 15-inch-Per-Macbooks are available in a cheaper variant with "normal" Display as well as in (which is also expensive) High-End configuration with ultrascharfem retinal Display (resolution: 2.880 x 1800 pixels).
- 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.
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.
The Processor
In two Macbooks are dual-core processors are installed. These are, however, when your Macbook Pro is higher clocked and thus offer more performance. The Macbook Pro 15,4" is a Quad-core CPU. The dual-core processors in the Macbook Air are adequate for many applications, for intensive applications such as photo editing, or Video Rendering are the processors in the Macbook Pro, but better suited.
The Graphics Performance
The Macbook Air, you need to have a powerful graphics do without. The graphics performance is sufficient for common applications, large Leistungswunder but are not to be expected. The graphics card on the Macbook Pro is more powerful and provides better conditions for graphics-intensive applications such as Video Rendering or CAD.
No internal drive on the Macbook Air
The Macbook Air, you must click on an internal (DVD)drive altogether. However, you have the option, an external drive connected.
Macbook Air or Per - conclusion
For which Macbook you decide, ultimately depend on their area of application. If you travel a lot, emphasis on mobility and performance rather plays a minor role, are you using the Macbook Air is very good advice. For leistungsintensivere applications such as Rendering, photo editing or CAD, you are on the Macbook better off. A good compromise between mobility and performance, the new Macbook Pro 13,3".
