Macbook Air or Pro for College?

With the announcment of the new Macbook Air with all day battery life, faster graphics, and better flashstorage I don't know if I should go with the 13 MBA or the 13 MBP with Retina. I will be a engineering major but I took a private tour at Colorado State and everyone said that you don't need a personal computer for all your work its all done on the school network. If my laptop would only be personal would it be smart to just get the Macbook Air? I just wish it had a Retina Display.
Thanks

When I purchased my MBP 13, I considered the air. However, I found out that the Air's do not have a cdrom. Meaning I cannot put my own music on it, if it's off a cd. I can't install any games I may decide I want. I couldn't install any software, either.
Both of these products do basically the same things, however remember that if you do get the air, you won't have a cd rom/dvd drive.
The 13" Mbp Retina does not have an optical drive either, so there is no difference.

Macbook Air or Pro for gaming.

Hi i was wondering if any of you could answer a couple of questions for me, i am looking to buy a new macbook air or pro (not sure which) but i was wondering if i could play a PC game via bootcamp? would it work okay? Also would a wireless PS4/3 or Xbox 1/360 controller work wirelessly?
Which laptop would be more suited to this?
Thanks, Jake.

Macbook Air or Pro for Psychology Student

Hey everyone,
Like a lot of people, I'm having trouble deciding which Macbook to buy although I at least know that I'm finally going to buy one! I'm a college student, and here is a list of what I will/want to do with my Macbook:
-Write papers
-Make presentations
-Watch Youtube
-Social network (facebook, twitter, tumblr)
-E-mail
-iTunes/Pandora (listen to music, watch movies)
-Be able to multitask (ex: have lecture slides open while taking notes elsewhere)
-MAYBE light games? I have no intentions to ever religiously video edit or game though it may happen ocassionally.
I've talked to A LOT of people, including the awesome people working in the Apple store and I've gotten mixed suggestions. For what I will need the Macbook for, I've been told by a couple of friends that the Air should be fine. I think I will get the i7 processor with 8gb of RAM. Some (including people at Apple) have told me that I should even be fine with the i5 and 4gb of RAM. My thought was that if I was told I wouldn't even need to upgrade the processor or memory that a Pro wouldn't make sense for me.
The portability and battery life on the Air is really convienent for me as the laptop will be travelling to and from school/work/home. I put this thread in the Macbook Air section because that's the computer I'm leaning toward, but maybe someone can provide an argument that would show me that the Pro really is better for my needs?
Also - you can buy AppleCare any time as long as it's before the end of the 1 year Warranty - correct?
Thanks!

Yeah, that would be the only detriment I see as well, though I intend to buy the 256GB model and can simply get an external drive if I find it necessary. Thanks for your input!
Another question - (for anyone) - If I order online and select the student discount, how does that work? Do I pay the student rate and then show my student ID & license at the store when I pick it up?

Macbook Air and iPad for College/ General Use?

Hi all, I've recently gotten a tax rebate to the tune of £1500 pounds and since I'm returning to college in September I'd like to purchase a MacBook Air in order to have a way to take down notes in a far more efficient form. I currently own a 2010 iMac so I can used that for storage and entertainment meaning the MacBook doesn't need to be anything special in terms of performance.
I currently have two options that I'm interested in, buy an 11 inch MacBook Air (Don't need the 13 if I'm honest) and I'll have enough money to buy an iPad (for use as a Filofax/ E-Reader/ something to prat about on).
OR I could sink the money into a MacBook Pro (putting extra to it of course) and get more performance.
Or maybe there's a third option that I've missed? Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Seriously, look at the specs and price...
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/family/macbookair?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=OAS-US-KWG-CPUMacBookAir-US
Then compare... for example...

Or try dell.

Then ask yourself that question again.
You should be able to get a 6-9 cell quad core with 4-8gigs ram and a 64 bit OS for 1/3 the price of the core duo 2gig air. 9 cell battery is where your cost goes up, it's the difference between 9 hours (6 cell) and 13 hours (9 cell) of battery life.
But a quad core 4 gig 6 cell 64bit OS laptop will run you about $499 -$699. And it will bury the $1600 air 500 feet in the ground without breaking a sweat, all while watching p0rn, playing call of duty and streaming netflix as it digs the hole.
I guess the real question is, do you want to buy a computer to make a fashion statement, or do you want to buy a computer to use as a computer?

MacBook Air or Pro for 2012 Student (heavy multitasker)?

Hey Apple Community,
Brief Background: I have been using the MacBook (December 2010), and it has been a boon - but it is time to move on. I waste anywhere between 1-3 hours just waiting for it to load, or else having to reboot it and open things again. Whatever I do, within an hour of use it just lags to the point where I end up doing my work on my iPhone or relocating to the school library where I can use a PC.
As such, I want to buy a new MacBook. I will be writing two books, doing academic research, and soon starting my JD.
I need a computer mainly for the following tasks:
- Word processing et al (pages, word, powerpoint)
- Internet (heavy multitabbing ... I mean very heavy)
- Internet streaming films, shows, etc.
- Music (Itunes)
Perhaps most defining, I do all of these at the same time, utilizing Apple's 'Spaces' feature to the max - so the chosen mac would have to be very Multitask-Friendly (VERY!). I want something that will be able to effortlessly hold up all of these tasks at the same time. Harddrive space is less important (I am willing to put all of my music, movies and photos on an external harddrive if necessary). I'd like a computer that can do all of this very quickly, and would also be very portable (but I think the Pro is lightweight enough).
I am leaning towards the MacBook Air.
I would be grateful for any help at all.

I think the MBair would meet your needs. Here's a comparison with the MBpro.

MacBook Air or Pro for iMovie editing?

I am getting a Macbook. I want the air, but i'm concerned that there won't be enough GHz for the imovie projects that I create. Is the air good enough? Or should i get the pro?
Thanks in advance.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air forums. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Macbook Air or Pro for student with Mac pro already

Hi guys,
I already have a Mac Pro as a desktop, but I need a notebook for High School (Yr 11 student in Australia)
I am deciding whether to get a MBA or MBP.
Macbook Air
11in Screen
128GB SSD
Core i5
Backlit Keyboard
Lightweight
But, Less value for money
Macbook Pro (refurb.)
(Early 2011 Model)
13in Screen
320GB HDD
Core i5
Backlit Keyboard
Sturdy
More value for money, but unnescessary power
$1099
Optical Drive
The MBP has lots of power, more USB ports (3?) and SD Card Slot, along with optical drive. But it is also just over twice the weight and thickness.
The MBA is sleek and beautiful, has two usb ports (really all I need) is fast, but costs $150 more, for a hard drive half the size, and a smaller screen size and is really light.
I don't need heaps of processing power, I need a laptop that goes on the bus everyday, and needs to be sturdy (a little worried about the MBA on buses and bags being thrown around - but nothing a case cant fix). Im just thinking i dont need the extra power of the Pro, but a lot of people in my classes have the 13in so I am confused about what to get.
Thanks

I think you have answered your own question.
If you value portability more than power, then the MBA 11" is the way to go.
For most day-to-day computing, there's not much between the MBA 11" and MBP 13". The MBA may in fact feel faster due to the SSD than the MBP with is mechanical HD.
I have the MBA 11" and am happy with its performance compared to the 13" MBP.

MacBook air or pro for Art student in university?

Hey,
I'm about to start year 12 then go onto study art in university after that. I'm looking to buy a Mac for school and personal use but I'm stuck between the air and the pro. My primary uses are:
YouTube
Facebook
Twitter
Downloading & listening to music
Downloading & watching movies and tv shows
Uploading photography for my art work and saving photos for art
Writing essays.
That's about all. I use iTunes for music and movies and such do I dont know if that affects storage space.
I was originally going to go with the air but I thought I would get some more opinions on what I should get.
Thanks in advance.

Here's a comparison of the two.

Macbook Air Or Pro For University.

I was just wondering which laptop would be better for university.
I love the macbook air and how it is so light and portable, but in saying that, I keep thinking that a macbook pro would be better as it has more GHZ.
I plan to do a Bachalor Of Business and/or Bachalor Of Information Technology.
I hardly ever use a CD drive and never make videos or use my current computer for photography editing.
Plese help me choose.

MacBook Air or Pro for Print/SocialMed/Video

I know this has been asked in all different ways but can't seem to find a thread that has what I'm wondering...appreciate the time and effort all of you put into these messages for those of us who don't pour over all the technical specs!
I'm a graphic designer (I'm in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator 80% of the day) but I also create training videos, iPad apps, iBooks and create everything for social media venues for my company. I also do a lot of the same on the side when I can for freelance jobs as well as create things for family events.
I'm looking to replace my home iMac with a MacBook but not sure which; the Air or Pro. I have a 2 x 2.26 Quad-core intel, 6GB Mem MacPro at work so that's what I'm use to working with. I beleive, from other reading, it's a nice to have the 8GB Mem but I also know this is all stuff I can add. I'm looking to spend around $2,000. I'm leaving it up to you pros out there to let me know what's the best bang for my buck.
Thanks to all who take the time to respond! Love this community!

If I were in your position, I would choose one of these:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC976LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ML2LL/A
I'm not certain that the 16 GB RAM is mandatory, but it would be nice.
My principle concern is the GPU capability. Both of these units have discrete GPU which will give you optimum performance in a note book.
Yes, both are refurbished units. I have done this three times and I recommend this path. They have always looked as if new with the same warranty and telephone support as a new one. It's your money.
Ciao.

MacBook Air or Pro for Music Production

Hello!
So, I am a music producer for a couple of years now and I am working with my 5/6 years old MacBook Pro 15" with a Core2Duo, 4GB (RAM) and 160GB HHD (5200rpm - I think) and is very frustrating to be able to have multiple vst's / plugins to work simultaneously (Using Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 9).
I'm with some doubts among the MacBook Pro (15.4 ") i7 Quad-Core (2.0 GHz) with 8 GB memory (RAM) and Iris Graphics Pro, MacBook Pro (13") i5 Quad-Core with 8GB (RAM) or a MacBook Air i5/i7 with 8GB (RAM).
I do not have much money to spend at the moment, so was wondering if any of these MacBook will last me a few years?

It is not possible to change anything on the Retina models once they are purchased. Everything but the SSD/Flash storage is soldered onto the logic board (That is the main system board better known as the Motherboard). The SSD/Flash storage module is of a proprietary design and shape and although there are some companies offering replacement units for the older, original, Retina display models I don't know if those same companies will make one for the newer models. Only time will tell. But if you do repplace it for a bigger, more storage capacity, unit that voids the Apple warranty.
I also suggest you factor in the cost of the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac computer once the warranty is over it is very expensive. So much so it is almost better to buy a new system. This is even more so for the Retina models because of all the component soldered to the main system board.

Macbook air vs. pro for uni science student

my macbook is 5years old and its time for a new computer. i was planning on getting another macbook since its worked so well and ive never had any problems with it, but upon realizing they are discontinuing the macbook i decided otherwise.
im a 3rd year earth science student, so i spend time writing up labs and essays in microsoft word and using excel from time to time, but i also use my computer a lot for music and photos - sometimes some other programs i have to download for courses i take at school. really trying to figure out which computer would be better for me and i really have no idea. ive already got an 750gb external hard drive where ive got everything stored from my old mac, and i plan to put some pictures on cds onto the drive with my old computer. after that i suppose i wouldnt have a use for a cd drive, but im debating on whether the air is really a good idea or not.
im still old fashioned and prefer writing my notes in lectures than using powerpoint. so if the air is a bit slower i dont think that would bother me.
biggest thing is the whole cd drive, all opinions for my situation would be appreciated. thanks!

I just sold my Macbook Pro 13" i5 processor, 8GB RAM for the new 13" MBA i5 4GBRam. It is such a huge difference in size and wait that I would never go back to something so bulky(I know MBP isn't really bulky, but things have changed). It is plenty fast for everything I do...heavy duty web surfing, email, writing papers, hd video, music, etc. and I find that I still have yet to fill up the 128GB SSD it came with...I'm at about 60GB...it is truly the best computer you'll ever own.

Late 2010 macbook air good enough for college?

So im kind of on a budget because i was unlucky in getting hours for work, and i need a new laptop for university.
best buy is selling the previous model of airs for around like $850 and it comes with office 2011
now, i dont know much about computers so i probably would never even notice the difference between the processors of the mbpro, or the new airs compared to this one
what i will mostly use this laptop is for typing up assignments, researching, web browsing, and youtube. maybe download a movie or two here and there.
i do plan on getting an external hard drive or whatever for this in the future, if ever the memory is beginning to be a hassle.
so yeah, my main question is, will it be good enough to last me 4 years of study lol
and if it matters, im studying commerce with some english courses here and there
btw the OS would probably be snow leopard.

Yes, the previous generation MBA's would be just fine for the things you are saying you would be using it for. I would say you should have no problem having it last 4 years. I also have a pc laptop that is 4 years old and I just graduated college and it got me through an entire business management bachelors program. I just got a new mac for grad school. Ps-you would know the difference between the prior and new generation MBA's..the new ones are about twice as fast, but aren't necessary for your needs. In fact, maybe you could find a MacBook at a reduced price somewhere (now discontinued).

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
Good luck!

I'm getting a MacBook pro for college and just wanted to make sure I was correct on how to transfer everything to it such as iTunes. All I have to do is turn on home sharing and then log into iTunes on my new Mac right?

I'm getting a MacBook pro for college and just wondered how to transfer/share everything from my desktop pc to my Mac?

home sharing will work but won't transfer playcounts, ratings, and original "date added".
if you wish to keep those, use the instructions in this article here.
