Only difference I see is the weight. You can't change the processor on the Air so the MBP is better suited for processing power.

if you guys have both MBA and MBP 2011 you will feel the difference!

MBA is like a toy for me while MBP is really a PRO!

Define "toy"? My macbook air can do everything my dads macbook pro 2010, intact it seems even faster than the pro. The air is FAR from being a "toy"

Anyway the macbook air is FAR more portable in terms of weight, especially my 11", HOWEVER unless your actually going to use the portable i.e. carry it around a lot, then it makes no difference.

I'm a student and needed a portable yet powerful computer, the more portable the better and the 11" makes the 13" seem like a brick. If your just going to keep the mac at home 90% of the time, then get the mbp.
