hi,
I am a final year student of engineering and I wanted 2 buy a macbook. I am confused between MBA13" and MBP 13". Both r gud and therefore it has confused me to a lot...I would be doing a job after my studies gets over so which 1 would be better 4 me?
MB Air:
Light + Portable + Better Screen Resolution + No Optical Drive + RAM is not user upgradeable.
MB Pro
Portable + Optical Drive + RAM and Hard Drive is user upgradeable.
Now, if you want to be able to upgrade your RAM to 16GB for what you'll be using it for, then the MB Pro is for you.
If however, you like the idea of having something very light and are fine without the use of the built in optical drive and are happy with the 8GB RAM that is not user upgradeable, then go ahead with the MB Air.
In any event, regardless of which one you end up purchasing, I'm sure you'll be happy with either one of them.

Here's a good comparison of the two:
Captfred? What type of sailboat is that on your picture?
sorry for the out of topic question
She's a Catalina 380. Very comfortable.. 🙂
Nice - Used to own a Catalina a few years ago - sailed it from Victoria, BC to San Francisco.
I am now a proud owner of a Beneteau Oceanis 352 (1993 model)
Nice. They used to build some in SC so there are a number of them on the east coast, very nice. 😉
I am really keen to buy MB Air..but I am just worried wont 1.8GHz processor would be an issue if I use it for 4-5years?
You'll be fine with 1.8GHz...Just make sure you get the 8GB RAM option.
It should last you for 4 - 5 years.....Remember, there are users out there with their 2008 Macbook Air and are quite happy with them.
I too have my old late 08 Macbook Uni with 8GB of RAM and it still performs well...
Good luck
MBA 13" or MBP 13"
