Apple's new MacBook Air vs the MacBook Pro - Here are the main differences

Apple

Up until Apple unveiled its new MacBook Air, the choice of which computer to buy was much easier to make.

The old MacBook Air wasn't a good option recently considering its old specs and relatively high price tag for those specs. The only realistically good Apple laptop option was the MacBook Pro, or maybe the MacBook if you really valued portability.

But now that the new MacBook Air is here with refreshed specs, features, and design, there's finally a viable option that's not the MacBook Pro.

The new MacBook Air offers a lighter weight and a slimmer overall design for a lower price tag than any MacBook Pro.

Check out the similarities and differences between the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pros:

The MacBook Air's design is a mix of the original MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro.

The overall design of the new MacBook Air is pretty similar to the original's design, except for the display area, which has gotten a MacBook Pro treatment with narrower black bezels.

Both the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro have the same size 13-inch displays.
