[QUOTE="b2013, post: 1553549, member: 316180"] Hi everyone I’m planning to get a macbook, but I’m in doubt between the following models (both with a 4 GB ram and 128 GB storage): [LIST=1] [*]Macbook Pro (late 2013) with the CPU 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 [*]Macbook Air (2013) with the CPU 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 [/LIST] I’m a software engineering student, and I do stuff like programming with MATLAB and Java. Thus speed (performance) is the most important factor for me. The second factor is weight, as I’ll have to bring it to uni every day. Screen resolution and battery life are unimportant. What confuses me the most is that the Pro has a higher clock speed, but it’s a lower model (i5 versus the Air’s i7). I would be very thankful if you helped me choose the best one. [/QUOTE]
