[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1555044, member: 56379"] I would still refer your back to the post I made in the other thread: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/306260-macbook-air-vs-pro-impossible-decide.html#post1553672[/url] Of course with the cpu benchmark scores be a virtual tie...that takes something away from the MBA. In my opinion...the only advantage the MBA has over the MBP is that it is lighter (less weight)...and maybe it's a bit thinner (I didn't verify this). If these things don't interest you...and if I was purchasing one of these two computers...I would probably go with the MBP. It has potentially better graphics performance (due to newer graphics hardware technology)...and it has the retina display. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
