MacBook Pro or Air - Which is The Answer?

Billed as the world's thinnest laptop the Apple's MacBook Air is a mere 0.76-inch thick at its thickest part tapering to 0.16-inch. Otherwise the MacBook mimics the 13-inch silhouette of the current MacBook line But is it worth the money ask the pragmatic. Mac lovers will love the MacBook Air - but the question is - which should you buy? The MacBook Pro or the MacBook Air - and why?

In this review I try to be fair and look and the pros and cons of both models. As usual it comes down to what you want to do with your new MacBook... How you use a laptop is very individual and the thinking about those questions up front will mean that you find the right product to fill your needs

Apple's MacBook Air at a Glance:

Inside the stylish silver shell you will find a a 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a choice of either an 80GB standard 1.8-inch hard drive or a 64GB SSD drive. Moving up to the SSD drive and faster CPU drives the price up from US$1,799 to a huge US$3,098. The MacBook Air comes with Bluetooth and wireless networking built-in and standard.

Features of the Apple MacBook Air :

The MacBook Air includes a new multitouch track pad, which incorporates a range of gesture controls that will be familiar to iPhone users, in which users can zoom by pinching in or out, rotate images by spinning two fingers, flick through items by wiping left or right and move windows in a new way. MacBook Air's keyboard is full size and similar to that of the standard MacBook. A nice touch is that the Air's backlit keyboard allows you to keep computing when the lights go down.

In addition to being more energy efficient than a traditional LCD panel, the LED-backlit screen also allows for a thinner lid.

The Air also comes with an iSight camera on top of the screen, the same as MacBookPro notebooks. Connections include a 45-Watt MagSafe power adaptor on the left and a USB 2.0 port, micro-DVI port and headphone port under a flip-down panel on the right.

There is no optical drive but the Air can connect wirelessly to an optical drive in another nearby computer. Alternatively you can purchase a USB-powered SuperDrive as an US$99 extra.

Other missing features include any kind of mobile broadband, an SD card slot, FireWire, an onboard Ethernet jack, and Express card slot.

While the MacBook Air may draw you in with its sleek looks, you may be concerned to discover that its battery is apparently not user replaceable. That means an overly complicated and pricey battery replacement procedure when it begins to slowly slip in holding a charge.

What is a Macbook Air

Designing MacBook Air came with one goal: Create an incredibly thin and light notebook computer that’s every bit as powerful and capable as one twice its size. With flash storage, durable unibody construction, Multi-Touch technology, and a long-lasting battery, MacBook Air not only achieves that goal, it sets a new standard for what every notebook should be. Perfected down to the millimeter.

Even at less than an inch thin, MacBook Air sets a pretty high standard — by making flash storage standard. Flash chips are very small, allowing MacBook Air to be incredibly thin and light. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable, and quiet. And because we place the flash chips directly on the logic board, they take up much less space — about 90 percent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. That’s mobility mastered.

Multi-Touch technology is part of practically every Apple product. It’s the best and most personal way to interact with your devices. And the optimal way to experience Multi-Touch on a notebook is through a trackpad. That’s precisely the case with MacBook Air. The trackpad’s spacious, all-glass surface doesn’t have a button because the whole thing is the button. And with new Multi-Touch gestures in OS X Lion, you can interact with MacBook Air in ways that feel more intuitive and realistic than ever before.

Anyone can try to make a notebook that’s thin and light. Success comes in doing it without cutting corners. That’s why MacBook Air features a full-size keyboard, not a condensed version of what you’re used to. When you type on the MacBook Air, it’s just as comfortable as typing on a desktop keyboard. And now the keyboard is backlit, so you can type comfortably even in low-light conditions. A built-in sensor detects changes in the ambient lighting and adjusts the keyboard and display brightness automatically, giving you the perfect illumination in any environment.

If you looked inside MacBook Air, you’d see something remarkable: how much space we devoted to the battery. That’s thanks to smaller components such as flash storage. And when the goal is to design the perfect notebook for everyday use, giving priority to the battery just makes sense. With MacBook Air, you can get up to 5 hours of battery life on the 11-inch model and up to 7 hours on the 13-inch model. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than an hour, and it enters what’s called standby mode.* That means you can come back to MacBook Air a day, a week — even up to an entire month later — and it wakes in an instant.
