MacBook Air:

Were made to easily travel with, it is very portable, .68 inches at it's highest point, and lightweight, less than 3 lbs. You have to sacrifice some power in exchange for portability. They come in an 11 inch and 13 inch model. The computer speed is about 2.0 GHz. They are in a solid state (no moving parts) and have a flash drive instead of a hard drive, which are much smaller and faster. They can have from 64 GB space to 512 GB, but keep in mind that the price inclines with the storage.

MacBook Pro:

Still portable, but not as much as the Macbook Airs, .91 inches and weigh just less than 5 lbs. These machines have a lot more power, 2.5 GHz, you are able to render videos faster, load up a lot heavier software without slowing down. The Pro has 500 GB storage. Has a DVD drive and burner. Plus, this computer is MUCH cheaper than the Air.

Both computer have the backlit keyboard.

Both have about 7 hrs battery (except for the 11 inch Air, has 5 hrs.)

Both have a webcam

When you get down to it, you need to consider what the use of the computer will be. If you're using it for business, schooling, lots of storage, or any other subject that will require lots of GHz, go with the MacBook Pro. If you use your computer for travel, easy work (emailing, Facebook, streaming) then go with the Air. You can check out Apple.com for pricing and information.

The macbook is significantly more powerful than the MacBook Air and is considered to be a better value overall. If you travel a lot and need a light computer, and don't plan to use any demanding software like media-intensive applications, the MacBook Air is the better option.

Well, the macbook pro is very powerful. You can do all most anything with it. BUT the macbook air is the same except it has lower memory and the Intel core duo 2.0 instead of the optional Intel core quad 7.0. the Quad core is capable of much faster processing. it also cost a lot more. In conclusion, the macbook air is best. Now if you still cant decide, I think you should get an iPod touch or iPad. there extremely durable and portable and not to mention, the iPod touch has I higher processor than the macbook air. Therefore, Even an iPad or iPod touch would be better.
