MBP 13" 2014 (MGX72) vs MBA 13" 2015 (MJVE2)

Hi, everyone!

I'm going to buy my first mac. I've found 2 suitable models:

1. Macbook Pro 13" 2014 (MGX72);
2. Macbook Air 13" 2015 (MJVE2).

What pros and cons of each model do you know? Which one is better by your opinion?

TIA!

Go for the Pro, the screen is worth it all on it's own but better graphics, processors and more ports wins out over an extra hour or so of battery and 1/2 pound lighter weight all day long for me.

Do you know any difference in SSD?

Yep the 2015 air does have 2x as fast SSD but to be honest in most use cases it makes little difference, I have a 2013 rMBP and my mate a 2015 and the SSD speeds makes very little difference in day to day performance, a difference is there but it's not worth giving up a retina display for in any way shape or form.
