Pro will be better than an air on specs but if you're carrying it to class day to day you may just want an air because of the lightweight

If you need a laptop for school and aren't doing design or something "creative" then for goodness sake don't get an overpriced mac. Get a nice Sony Vaio or something like that with better specs for half the price. Unless you want to pay hundreds of dollars extra for that apple logo.

It's not an overprice computer or just for an Apple Logo. I'll be honest you take a mac that's the same age as another windows laptop and I would put money the mac to be better as in faster.

Mac's what I have noticed do not slow down over time as bad as a Windows PC

That's total bulls***. Macs are not made with better components than a comparable windows laptop. Unless you are in design or something where the software is better on a Mac there is no reason to get one unless you prefer the OS.

Macs ARE overpriced, no getting around it. The only reason a same age, same spec windows laptop would run slower is because the person who owned it got a bunch of viruses because they clicked on every link on the internet.

Look the reason why i don't want to buy a PC is because the quality of macs are just prefect there aren't any other pc's out there that are made out of aluminum.

No offense man but buying a Mac because of the aluminum casing is nuts. Spend your money how you want, but unless what you're doing specifically calls for a mac you're wasting money.

he didnt ask if you thought they should buy a mac or not...just which one.
IMO..the OS alone is worth the price. Im soo tired of windows and all of their garbage.

If its for school and taking it back and forth..The Air is the one to go with.
THe air will do everything you need and still save you a few hundred in the process.

Sorry but when someone asks me which turd is the shiniest and best I feel obligated to point out an alternative to a reflective piece of poop.

Get the Pro as it costs more. Be the best consumer you can be for Apple Inc.

I have a Pro and absolutely love it! I'll never go back to Windows ever again.
