1.3 ghz i5 in air vs 2.5 ghz i5 in non-retina pro.
Hi there. I've been trying to dig up solid differences between the 11" macbook air 1.3ghz (with intel 5000 graphics) and the 2.5ghz non retina 13" pro (with intel 4000 graphics). Most of the reviews I can find line the air up with the retina pro which isn't exactly what I'm wondering about.
I ask because I currently have the 13" pro but would love to get the 11" air instead. I just can't tell how much of a performance difference their is between the two notebooks. I've found a few sites but nothing that's really given me definitive answers.
I THINK I've found that the intel 5000 graphics on the air is at a slower clock speed than the 4000 pro. Seems that could be a step backwards for the minecraft I play. I belive there is a gererational difference between the pro and air in that the air has the 4th gen core and the pro has the 3rd. Not sure that means that the 1.3 is slower than the 2.5 like it used to be in the old days of CPU numbers.
Anyone have any solid info on how big the gap is between those to machines in terms of processing power? I realise the air will probably be snappier due to the SSD. My pro also have 4gb of ram. I'm really wondering if there will be that much of a gap...
Thanks!
