Hi there At a recent meeting where I was recently, somebody asked what would be the difference between the MacBook air and the MacBook Pro. They wanted to know how you would choose. It was explained to them that it depends on what processing you need, and the person that told this said that the MacBook Pro had more processing ability. Sincerely, Gigi
