I was comparing standard base model 13 Inch vs Maxed out 11" MBA.
You are also comparing a machine that is $950 more than the other then.
I have the MBP 13" and love it.

...that gap is even larger.
I was comparing standard base model 13 Inch vs Maxed out 11" MBA.
Which has the faster booting time, the maxed out MBA or the standard Never ever configured base 13 MacBook Pro?
When launching applications?
When opening Safari?
When fetching files?
When importing 1080p video?
When playing back a 4K video?
When moving files?
MBA all the way.
And yes, the MacBook Pro may be a bit faster when it comes to rendering and processing tasks, but it's not even noticeable. When rendering, it's probably just 10 seconds faster. The gain you have on the MBA's SSD is greater than the gain you have on the processor.
That's what made me conclude that the MBA is just as fast than the MBP.
Yeah, it does. Lifting a 13 Inch makes me feel like I'm lifting a huge brick. Lifting the MacBook Air feels like I'm lifting a feather.
The MacBook Pro is an ultra thick laptop. Aren't you bugged by it's thickness?
This thread would have been a down-vote magnet back in the good old days....
OKAY, FINE!
Its's not as fast as the MBP, but still very close to it's speed. Don't believe me? Then check the Geekbench results.
The point is, even if its a bit slower, you lost more mass, weight, volume and thickness than you lost performance.
In short, Apple has done more miniaturization on the Air.
Let's stick to the topic - the MacBook Pro is a fatty.

In all honesty if a 13'' MBP is difficult for you to carry and there is nothing wrong with your body then you need to seriously work out once in a while.
now that actually depends on how long you use your notebook on the go. Im actually looking for a the RMBP 13 for a simple reason, it should be lighter.
Im on the go since 8am to 12am. With 2 troublesome shoulders and a back pain.
And here is something for my woes:

My point is that the 13'' MBP is "not heavy." Of course it's subjective. If you're a grown man or women it's light. If you're a baby it's heavy. If you are comparing it to a 17'' MBP it's light. If you are comparing it to an 11'' MBA it's heavy.
...etc, etc. It's not heavy. I have back pain too - toughen up I guess when you're carrying that 4.5 lbs laptop.
I dont need to toughen up. Im extremely fit, I run 10-15k per day. I weight lift and so forth. I dont need to carry all the weight, if only it was with 8gb, I would have already bought it.
My husband has a 2010 17".
It is not thick. You got to get over that and consider yourself lucky you are not using those Windows laptops out there that are bulky and thick. It is sad that onlyhas the creative genius when it comes to this field, what is wrong with this picture?
You and me both. The entire premise is nonsensical.I am not sure I get this post.
because no other PC laptops are as thin as the MBP?
please... get your head out of apple's ass.
It isn't just about thinnest. Anyone can make a thin laptop these days right? I guess what attracts me esthetically is not what would attract you (period). I don't have my head up's ass, I am also a fashion designer so from that point of view I'd say that
is Haute couture with no competitors maybe because everyone would be sued (which I think is ridiculous), but anyways - the others are more interested in being a Walmart clothing line. Just saying.
So basically you're saying macbooks are fashion statements.
