MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro (opinions)
Anyway its still going strong but i am starting to think about investing in a new one, well saving up for one.
My current spec is 2.53GHz 4GB Ram 250GB HDD.
Is the MacBook Air still quicker than the new MacBook Pros?
I read it was in real world scenarios regardless of the spec difference before the new MBP's but wondered if it was still the case?
How is this the case, solely down to the SSD?
Would having a smaller SSD mean it wasn't as quick, would you need a large one?
Could save some bucks getting a 4GB Ram 250SSD MBA rather than a new MBP i suppose...
Being a web developer i use Photoshop, Illustrator, Espresso, Transmit etc and a few other bits and bobs, but its never heavy photo or video work; i'm not sure i use the full capacity of the MBP? I do run VMware Fusion for Windows environment site testing.
Play films through Plex, listen to iTunes then the normal day to day browsing and mail.
I dont envision doing much upgrade, i've not upgraded my MBP since i got it, rather than a failed attempt to get an SSD working.
So would an Air be powerful enough to do these tasks and be fast and Apple agree?
Finally.. last me as well, my MBP is still fine almost 3 years later, just a little slower...
Thanks for any opinions 🙂
