Need help deciding

[krunal05]

I just bought this macbook pro 13 inch with the 2.7 i7... Im trying to decide between this one and the air with the 1.7 i5 chip... pound for pound which computer is better?

Neither is better, its whats better for you?

Power or Portability?

Pound for pound the MBP is obviously better. The only thing the MBA has over it is being slim and a SSD (which you can get in the MBP). If you're looking at baseline models though, the MBP will be cheaper and give you more.

Both machines are very thin though; the MBA is deadly thin but the MBP is very thin as well; thinner than most laptops.
