I have a MBP, my girl has a MBA. MBA has way better battery life IMO. The main thing that pushes the MBP over the Air is the screen. Big difference. Aside from that I'd wait for the new Airs with the retina.

Apple needs to tweak the operating system. Some shyt that is so easy and intuitive in Windows is non-existent/difficult in Apple. Apple does kill when it comes to peripherals and shyt like that. It easily works with anything you plug into it. For heavy internet usage, I think Windows is better.

This is a crazy dumb comparison fam. One is a lightweight laptop and the other professional grade. It's a bout YOUR Needs...

Stop being caught up in brands.

Since most mac heads are in this thread, looking to run Windows on my Macbook for work purposes.

I got a Macbook Air -> 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4B RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 12B SSD.

Which version of Windows 7 would be able to run flawlessly? 32, 64 or 86?

Thanks

I've got one of each the pro and the air. I got both through my job, and if I had to buy one with my own money, I would get the pro. It really comes down to what you will be using the computer for, but the pro has the best overall package when you consider the storage, the cd drive (which has to be purchased extra for the air), the retina display, the screen size, and overall performance. The air is very nice, and is extremely light, but the storage is small, and the lack of a disk drive limits its use, unless you want to pay extra. I spend way more time on my pro, than I do on my air. one things for certain though, I ain't going back to PC. :scust:
