Each is a 13.3-inch IPS screen, with the same native resolution (2,560 by 1,600 pixels) and support for the P3 color gamut. The display panels are also very similar. You get the same all-metal design as the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is a hallmark of the MacBook brand. The MacBook Air’s lower price has to come from somewhere, but it’s not from a drop in quality or from cutting the fundamentals. MacBook Air Design and Features: Subtle Differences
There isn’t a huge performance gap between the Air and the 13-inch Pro, but it’s enough to differentiate the two and make the higher price worth paying for many professionals. If you do plan to use your MacBook for work, especially if you're a content creator, you'll want to more strongly consider the MacBook Pro (the 13-incher, but possibly the 14-inch model depending on how big your budget and how advanced your needs). As the entry point into current-generation Apple laptop hardware (and the Apple software ecosystem as well), it’s an attractive device. We’ll get into the components offered in each of the two laptops below, but the long story short with the starting models is this: If you’re not someone who needs a fancier or more powerful laptop for work, and if you want both portability and value, the Air is the way to go. (That doesn't include the cost of accessories, of course.) We tested the entry-level versions of both models. There are multiple configurations available for each the MacBook Air can cost as much as $2,050 when fully kitted out, and the 13-inch Pro goes up to $3,600. The MacBook Air starts at just $999, while the least-expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro model is $1,299. Instead, it’s the more lightweight price that will be the leading factor. But a few ounces probably aren't enough of a difference to base your decision on.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is a little heftier, at 3 pounds or 3.1 pounds, depending on the configuration. The MacBook Air, the prototypical ultraportable laptop in its early days, isn’t as light or unusual as it used to be (many Windows laptops are as light or lighter), but it is still the lightest current Apple laptop at 2.8 pounds. MacBook Air Basics: One 13-Incher Versus Another We’ll help you sort through the various features, as well as the processor, memory, and storage options, to find the best fit. For some folks, the Air is the right machine for others, the Pro. So which should you get? The decision ultimately hinges on what you do every day on your laptop.
