[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1521210, member: 56379"] The SSD is definitely faster. That's one of the main advantages of an SSD. The architecture of the MacBook Air makes it faster then the cpu speed would indicate. Factually speaking...cpu benchmark tests on the two computers you listed show that even though the cpu speed of the MacBook Air (1.3ghz) is almost half that of the MacBook Pro (2.5ghz)...the MacBook Pro's cpu benchmark scores are only appox. 10% better. So if it makes a difference to you...the cpu scores of the MacBook Pro are about 10% better...but since the MacBook Air is newer...it has the better graphics hardware. - Nick [/QUOTE]
