Hi folks
I know this has been posted a lot during the past, and therefore I apologize in advance.
I'm gonna buy a new MacBook since my previous BlackBook died last week.
Do I choose the MBP or MBA
I'll be using it as my main computer and need to bring it with me for my trips to the university.
If I had to pick right of my head I'll go with the MBA 'cause of the mobility. Though I cannot help thinking about the (nearly) 1ghz I'll be missing in performance (MBA i5, 1.7ghz vs MBP i5 2.4ghz)
According to benchmarks the difference is minimal. I'm not gonna use it for games, video, graphics or any other high-cpu programming. But just for word, browsing and so on. Maybe occasionnaly for netflix
So I think my question is: Would I be missing the performance in the cpu? And DOES the Air really comes close to the Pro in performance?
Cheers
