What are the exact differences betweern mac book air and mac book pro

I have not used mac book b4, and now I consider to buy a mac book. I am a college student and majoring in computer science. Can someone tell me what are the exact differences between MBP and MBA? I know the CPU in MBP is better than MBA and what else? Which one would you recommend me to buy? Waiting for your response. Thank you so much!

This forum is
Apple Support Communities > Notebooks > MacBook Pro >   Discussions
So the question is relevant at least to the extent that it is asking for a comparison between a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air
MacBookAir definitely favors portability and sports a dual core i5 at 1.5GHz (max RAM is 4GB not user upgradable)
MacBook Pro  has upto a quad core i7 at 2.4GHz (ships with 4GB and upgradeable to as much as 16GB on some models)

  • What are the major differences between a Access Switch and Aggregation Switch w.r.t Carrier Ethernet domain?

    In a Carrier Ethernet domain,Could someone please help me understand what's the basic difference between Access Switch and Aggregation Switch both in terms of s/w and h/w functionalities. MEF deals OAM,CFM, EVC provisioning only at the access edge switches. Do we need to repeat all these at the aggregation level? or  is it just used for routing purpose? Do we have a separate Fault Management at the aggregation level?

  • What are the main differences in features between FCP and FCE?

    I'm buying filmmaking equipment for my teenage son, who has shown himself to be serious about getting started making shorts. One big decision (regarding costs and $$$ allocation for other system elements such as the computer and camcorder)is whether to get Final Cut Pro (studio version) or Final Cut Express. He has used Final Cut in several camps and film school programs. Feedback will be most appreciated!

    FCP can't be bought by itself, however Final Cut Studio includes Color, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro.... FCE will not edit any format except DV and HDV. FCP will edit most every format. FCP is keyframeable, where FCE really isn't. There really is a ton of difference between the two apps. FCE has no media management, has fewer effects, etc... One's an enthusiasts' program and the other (Final Cut Studio) is a full professional suite of software... it's certainly worth the difference, but might be more than you want to spend. FCE is a subset of code taken from FCP, so learning it will help with learning FCP... the interface is nearly identical.

  • What are the major difference between ssis 2008 R2 and 2012

    Hi,
    We are planning to upgrade some of the packages from 2008 to 2012. If someone would provide a few insight then it would be great.
    Thanks,
    sarat chandra sahoo

    The major difference that has come up in SSIS 2012 is a new deployment model called project deployment model. As per this package is no longer a basic unit but its the project. When you use this deployment model you can deploy project from Visual Studio/SSDT
    environment directly to the server. The project in this case will get stored in Integration Services Catalog which uses a new db called SSISDB in the relation database itself. So in that sense its more closely coupled to database engine. Also you cant deploy
    a single package in this case, it has to be complete project. The project also preserves the versions for packages so any time you can revert to one of the previous version if needed. SSIS Catalog doesnot use configurations. Instead there's new concept of
    parameters introduced. Parameters can be defined at project or package level and this will help you to sent values from outside. You can also define environments inside SSIS catalog and created variables in it. This should then be mapped to parameters within
    project/package and based on value you set for variables package will execute with values at runtime.
    See
    https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/ssis/ssis-2012-projects-deployment-configurations-and-monitoring/
    Other changes include new tasks like exepression task, DQS Task etc and features like data taps which can be used for debugging data flow at runtime

  • What are the functional differences between F55 Zebras 1 and 2, and their respective uses

    Would like to hear from those of you who can explain the functional/utility differences between the F55 Zebras 1 and 2. Jon

    I'm with Robbie, and I've been making a living doing this for almost 40 yrs. I do often use zebra one, abd yes, skin tones vary widely ( I shoot many black faces) but you have to interpret and adjust based on experience. Having used this camera for over two years and having carefully reviewed everything I shoot, I, like Robbie, have full confidence in what my results will be, now that I have my oled set and the way I like it. I prefer being in the energy on the creative side and Sony has provided a system that frees us from much of the exposure measuring that film required. I stop bring my meters but rarely use them, and my footage looks just fine.

  • What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it. 
    The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S.  If you would like to get more details, you can always view
    each models specs on Apple's online store.
    See here for a better explanation.

  • What's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and

    Hi Gurus,
    what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
    I found out that if my info-object A has a input-ready variable in a query,after the query running,in  the selection screen,my info-object A's F4 value is follow the setting of "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn",as the setting of "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" I tried every diff setting, it won't effect my query anyway.
    so:
    1.what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
    2.how they effect query's presentation?
    I searched forum,didn't find the answer what I want.
    Thanks everyone.

    Hi Denny,
    I will try to explain it again.
    Query Def. Filter Value Selection : Let say the value is set to "Only Values in Infoprovider"
    Lets take an example infoobject - 0MATERIAL (Material)
    Total material records in material Master = 1000 (master Data table /BI0/PMATERIAL)
    You create a query on top of an Infoprovider using Material.
    Total unique materials in Infoprovider= 500.
    Now when you are in design mode in Query Designer, and you try to restrict Material by few materials (for e.g. 1, 2, and 3), for this you right click on material and select Restrict, the pop-up opens with list of materials, this list is all those 500 materials which are in the infoprovider, because the setting is  "Only Values in Infoprovider". Which means then when you are trying to restrict a characterstic in query definition the list of values displayed for restricition is derived from Infoprovider.
    Query Execution Filter Value Selection  - I think you already know what it is , its the read mode for F4 help selection.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • What Are the Exact Basic rules for Replying a Thread...... -:)   @};-

    Hi Experts,
    After Looking into the forums many days I had a small conclusion about forums,
    SAP Forums are better place I have seen for getting a goo dhelp & Knowledge...
    Why can't we make it a BEST Place.
    This is just a small doubt which I would like to clear myself first,
    I have seen many users In the forums asking for a Basic Questions
    When cleared, But still they want to have a Spoon feeding with a Sample Code.
    When Sample Code Given they will provide the original code and requests for Modifications.
    These always looks to me as crazy.
    I have seen somelong time agin by moderators posting that In SCN there will be no SPOON FEEDING.
    I am not sure whether if still this Rule AVAILABLE or NOT.
    Ok if the task is really difficult let them ask again and again,
    And it was not replied, let them repost, I agree with them.
    And How about a User Registered in SDN very long back and asking for a silly question in below thread,
    [Sendin Email to the recipent list -Need correct FM |Getting the address from shipto partner of Bil. item not directly from C.ma]
    This is one more example, really funny, The thread poster needs the solution at any cost, he doesn't require and Suggetions,,, {He Only needs Solution}
    [Radio Buttons |Radio Buttons;
    [Turning Off Debugger |Turning Off Debugger;
    [Regarding Amount in words|Regarding Amount in words;
    There are 100's of threads like this....Everyone knows this facts.
    Check this who answered this one and who replied correct answer, who copied, finally who was rewarded...!
    [how to validate POsting period |Re: how to validate POsting period]
    Now My Real Problem is....!
    User is always intelligent, Only the weakness is in Contributor, trying to help them,..,
    And I openly say that Someone requesting for basic help is not DUMB, But the Contributor replying forgets
    the basic rules " Why Contributing ?"
    According to me It's not the Requestor to see Rules & Requlations before posting the threads,
    But its responsibilty for the Contributing person to see th Rules & Requlations before replying the threads,
    If we follow the rules and stand on a single word or rule or anything there will be Good Result.
    Major Problem is in US not anyone else.
    Example Some one saying search in the forum,,, then please no replies after that...
    But we are very pity hearted again we post the solution,,,
    But it is not at all enough(for cintribtor's)... they will copy the solution and post again by slight Modifications,
    And Some users are having 500,600,700,800 Posts with 0 points, registered long long back.
    They are completly dependent on forums,,, As they goto office and as they eat, The same they open forums and ask Queries...
    They will never realize what they are doing,, and we will never let them improve better...
    Finally Lets Discuss About this and Correct & Suggest me if I am wrong,
    Is my thoughts are going in the right way or not I am not even sure... Please Aslo Correct me if I did any mistakes.
    Thanks & regards,

    Title Changed Form
    "What to do when someone asking for Basic Questions" to "What Are the Exact Basic rules for Replying a Threads...... "

    Hi Stephen,
    Very useful Information,
    First tell me a little something about my self...
    After completion of my certification(as a fresher) I was down the streets hunting the job,
    with the insufficient knowledge and being a non-experienced person, I never got one.
    And mean while when I got my "S-UserID", I used to be proud, To say frankly, I registerd in SDN & SAP all at a time, without even knowing what I can do there..,
    When I got a job afterwords I was doing the job and never seen SDN page for many months,
    when I came to know that of we have doubts we can post at SDN. then started requesting help,
    I posted only a little, I didnot got the proper response. on that day I decided,
    still there are some places where we cannot get help on time and there will be people waiting to get help,
    Why cant I put some of my efforts to help others.
    Then I searched some topic by Topic in SDN topic by Topic I used to read threads just for knowledge.
    when I feel my self comfort for contributing, I started contibuting...!
    If you haven't read it, take a look first, so you can understand where things are now.
    I dont know where things are now. But these in this thread I mentioned clearly what I seen from the day I started contributing.
    I searched with the terms of 'Rules for replying', The results are not as I expected, and this link has subject as
    "O SDN, where art thou?" So it dosent hit my in the list.
    Like everybody until a certain stage I am also rushing for points.
    But I most cases I never tried to copy paste answers. If I done some then that is just to point it myself some day,
    I have no hopes or no intrest on the points...! This was discussed with Rob & Matt, at my inital contribution where my points are 36.
    From that day till date I have changed a lot to myself.
    Everyone cannot change like me because they are not like me & And I dont even expect that...!
    I will be online almost 6-8Hrs a day, Not even getting intrest to see the forums just because of the co-contributors.
    My only point is I am just requesting to a co-contributor,
    Clearly In a example : Lets say contributor has replied to a thread, and if you know that is a correct solution,
    please dont reply any more, If you have a better solution than that, then only reply,
    Even there is one reply in the thread not a matter, if correct answer leave that query.
    If still error persists, Show up with your Idea's...
    Dont let down the contributor, by copying his reply and editing and pasting(edit only if incorrect).
    I am just looking for this one exactly to circulate between ourselfs.
    For this we a little support from moderators to circulate(may be as a rule or may be as a mail to them)
    You may say again how many mails we have to send, It dosent matter, one mail to one person one time,
    and +ve factors will show up definetly.
    A real contributor always understand what I am talking about, but some one who hunts for points will never.
    I am really sorry if I am troubling with my doubts & requests,
    If so, Pleae forgive me,,
    Thanks & regards,
    Dileep .C
