Mac pro vs macbook air

[jpdunford]

Should I buy a Mac Pro or a MacBook Air

I am looking at...

Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
64GB (8x8GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive

OR

1.8GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
128GB Flash Storage

I will just be using it for emails and web browsing and the occasional YouTube video.

The extra RAM on the Mac Pro looks good but is 4GB enough for my uses?

Thanks.

I am looking at the 8 core Mac Pro with 128GB RAM and the 13 inch MacBook Air i5 with 4GB RAM.

Definitely not a Mac Pro, way too much for what you do with it, it also consumes a lot more power.

Why not a MacBookPro for instance if you wanna burn some cash, but even that is overkill.

If thats ALL you are doing, save yourself a lot of money and get an iPad ...
