MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro - Which one would you guys get? Also - check out LastPass and never forget a password again - goo.gl/8GAUPR 😁

I feel like youtubers really need to recognise that for 99% of us, "work" does not equate to video editing.

Head goes Pro, Heart goes Air...

This review was sooo professional, complete and well scripted and edited. Thanks for this amazing content man!

This might be the wrong thing to ask from any KZfaqr, but is it possible to, like sometime, get a review not using video editing as a performance benchmark? You know, for us (in probably a majority) non-video creators. Would be much appreciated :)

Please never say that a one year old product is outdated...

Personally I think Apple should give the 13” Non-Touchbar Macbook Pro the keyboard and Touch-ID from the Air and update to the 8th Gen processors. If they do that then i’ll definetly go buy a one. Because personally i dont like the Touchbar but love Touch-ID 😀

I need this video badly as I am deciding between these two! Thanks for the vid!

I’m becoming a tech nerd day-by-day. This is my second time watching this video, and just now I understand some of the specs better. 😅

thanks Daniel ! the way you explain is awesome ! a tons of knowledge sharing in short time ! Thanks a lot !!! 

That video was very well made. Thank you!

Excited for this. Getting a little upset with the Apple pricing 😤

did my guy just put gaming and MacBook in one sentence

I bought a 2017 iPad Pro. What an amazing machine! Haven’t touched my MBA mid 2013 in a year.

this kind of video is the thing i really need

I’m soooooo confused for weeks but this video really helps

In the Final Cut Pro video export comparison at 6:19 ... your scale doesn’t match therefore the E-GPU versions visually appear as though it took much longer than the 15” MacBook Pro

TYVM for the keyboard review

This is the exact information that I am looking for!

$230 difference between the two Canadian with the MacBook Pro being the more expensive

This is the exact purchase I'm considering and you've helped sway me toward the 2017 MacBook Pro....thanks Daniel.

Fix that keyboard the only thing that is stopping me from jumping to get a new mac.

I don't very enjoy using MacBook of any models but I do enjoy your video anyway.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2015 model which I use for video editing and other heavy tasks. Do you think I should go with the MacBook Air in this case, since I have a Pro which is my main computer? I would use the Air for University, typing, doing different assignments and probably some light video editing, since I would rely more on my Pro 15".

Very informative! Thanks for sharing!

Been waiting for this. Thank you.

i prefer the macbook pro just because i prefer the sounds on it

I would definitely get the Macbook Air. Fingerprint sensor, better keyboard and its cheaper. Security is also much better with the T2 chip.

If only the coffeelake pro was available without touchbar.

So how's the Air for Java, Python Dev etc work? compared to the above mention pro?

For me, it came down to the screen. ZoT mentioned that you couldn't really tell the difference and I'm sure most people wouldn't need the extra 200NT but for a person that owned a 15 MBP and a 13 MBA, it looked like night and day.

Thx for posting this vid cause I’m making a big decision on a MacBook

Help me out guys, is it true lower processor = less sustainable device over the years in terms of the speed? I'm in torn between getting the Macbook pro 17 and the Macbook air 18 and has no tech background whatsoever, i'm looking to use the device for >5 years as i'm a doctor going in for Residency for the next 6+years. I'll be using the Mac for basic web browsing, reading ebooks and pdfs, making docs and presentations, overseeing multiple Xrays docs, watching youtube and Netflix

Great video Daniel!

Should I buy the pro ore the air I'm so confused. Is there any problems with the air overheating.?

the fact that he can hold the laptops like that, i would need to go to the gym to do that with my old laptop :P

This was helpful. Thank you.

This has helped me a lot thanks

Thank you soo much for this, helped a lot :)

ZoneofTech: Which One to Get? Also ZoneofTech: Depends on who you are.

what would be better for beginning highschool? and what ssd storage amount do you recommend?

What you call work is my hobbh.... Most of dont care about video editing or photo editing... Focus more on multi threaded tasks..

Wow they should make a mac book pro in red it would bring some color to a company that’s has once again gone dull

Indeed, it is quite similar than ipad air 2 vs ipad 2017 few year ago.

8:41 ok that was a respectable plug

My main usage is design software mainly autocad, revit and sooldworks so which macbook is suitable for me

Best review in all fckng KZfaq! Thnx dude👍🏻

That's interesting pricing, In Canada,it's 1499 vs. 1729, 230CAD difference, 1439 vs. 1659, still 220 for Edu price, still has some reason to buy the air.

For me, the keyboard is really important.

Hi, there nice comparison though, furthermore, I would like to know your opinion about the refurbished Macbook Pro 13” at Apple Store, are they Worthy ? Thanks again. Great info videos

MacBook Air is relatively weaker than MacBook Pro because in Air it is too thin and when the processor needs space to heat up the Air crashes. I think you missed that fact. did he miss that?

Good video, liked the comparison but i think opinion is always biased, which isn’t bad at all. Air comes with Touch ID, better battery and better keyboard, so you don’t have to worry about messing up and doing that stupid recommendations of Apple to clean your crappy keyboard in the 2017 MacBook Pro. And all of that for 100usd less. Yes you “sacrifice” performance (not even noticeable), a brighter display (not noticeable either), and quite a little more things that doesn’t make any difference or are a pivotal fact to choose between one or the other. Still, the air is the best option for me, yes there are differences between them, and in some the pro is better but like I said, an average user wouldn’t miss any of those things, or even notice them. If you go for the 2017 pro, you’re certainly not looking for a high performance, otherwise you would be striking the Touch Bar model. In this case, for students (architects or system engineers not included) or entrepreneurs, the air is your best option. Take care!

I have a question, how well does the air preform with only one game downloaded in the system? Im wanting the air for school purposes than the pro as i don’t really care about speed, brightness of the screen, speakers and i don’t do any editing. And when i get the air i will be getting my sims 4 downloaded from origin and thats the only game i will have.

Great video. Now I am wounder how 4 core 13' Macbook pro performance compare to 6 core 15' Macbook pro

Very good review, I will get the Pro for an everyday business use

..... there’s a thing called keychain on any apple device that keeps your passwords together in one spot

can u tell which is the best in both ur suggestion

nice video as always, cheers.

Very nice review

So....I use the ZAGG roughbook keyboard case and it has basically transformed my IPad into a computer. There are a few things that i cant do, but i just don’t see those things as reasons to get another MacBook.

Excellent Comparison..!!

What do you keep looking at in the top left corner?

I plan to use my future MacBook mostly for research, so I will need a lot of storage, as well as some light programming and writing essays. I'm looking for high efficiency and a long battery life. Which would you recommend?

I don't know which one to get, I am planning to make some programming, Python, C, Java and related. Not a lot of video editing, mostly programming and networking stuff. I don't want to have any issues with the Macbook Pro 2017 2nd gen keyboard though. So what do you guys recommend, does anyone knows how Air handles programming & related?

At 6:10, it does not really make sense to show such a comparison with the axis having different scaling.

is it good for both to do light editing such as photoshop and cute video editing?

the comparison is great! thanks for what I can buy

Great video. I am looking at replacing my now virtually useless 2012 i7 MacBook Air and the choice between a new Air and a possibly non-TouchBar (because I hate it) Pro is exactly what I'm trying to decide. Your video did help. I don't like the fact that Apple haven't updated non-TouchBar MacBook Pros since 2017 (they still have 7th gen Intel chips compared to 8th gen everywhere else), and I have a feeling that they will probably upgrade the new Air next year with an optional quad-core i7. Since I only really use the Air as a media consumption device and use a 15" MBP as a production device I'll probably get the Air, but I'm sorely tempted to go for a 13" Pro. The problem is that I will inevitably start maxing out a Pro because - as Apple very well knows - once you're locked into a memory configuration the only way to upgrade is by shelling out thousands of dollars, pounds or Euros for a new model! And every time Apple releases a new operating system, it makes your current memory contingent that little bit more obsolete. By design, obviously: you don't get to a trillion dollar corporate valuation by giving your customers easy ways to upgrade their old machines! It's pretty disgusting and I'm getting disgusted with myself for continually giving money to Apple who just sock it away in banks and shaft taxpayers as well as users! Why the Windows sphere can't make a laptop that's as good as a 2015 Retina MacBook Pro, say, is beyond me. Windows laptops are still universally awful, although if Apple keeps going backwards they will get surpassed by the Windows manufacturers when they eventually figure out how to make a good laptop.

Only get pro if they update non touch pad to 2018 because only 2018 touch bar got the keyboard fix

MacBook Pro 2017 13inch 256gb should I buy in 2020?

Before I buy a new MacBook Pro, I searched on KZfaq and view comparison a lot, finally I purchase 2018 base 15 inch MacBook Pro due to things of performance and cheaper price. Previously I really love 13 inch because the appearance of nice, easy to carry, however, I buy 15 inch. Because I was a senior student do not have too much money and looking for high performance to work after graduation. That's why I give up a 13 inch. Maybe this is a suggestion for other students who wants to buy MacBook without more money.

Their isn't much of a difference (in my opinion), especially since I'll be using it strictly for school. I was once talked into buying an Air when I really wanted a Pro, thinking it was significantly better, and he actually saved me money. I'm now looking into upgrading but not sure which to choose.

I think you should some time see teck about the avrage poeple perspective, who need on day to day need editing video? I prefer the safety of the T2 and longer battery Nice video, i went with macbook air.

Which I should buy?pleade help me

0:05 AHHHH he’s gonna drop IT IM GONA HAVE a heart ATTACK AHHHH lol but like AHHH😂

The reason I got the MacBook Pro 13" was because of your video. It doesn't seem to disappoint, yet, but its only been a few days. It's an amazing device but the keyboard isn't my favorite to be honest.

Is it worth getting the Macbook Air 2018 with 8 gen processor over the Macbook Pro 2017 with a 7 gen processor that is faster, has better graphics, colors, sound, charger, brightness? I don't understand how important it is to have a newer generation CPU, The processors in Macbook Air uses less power...

Doesn't MacBook Pro 13" 2017 suffer from keyboard problems? So the Air is supposedly better? And if one would get Apple Care with the MacBook Pro 13" 2017, would the keyboard be a problem?

for school and to last for 4 years, would the base pro or air be better, the air seems to have a new spot in the line up and the base pro could be cut soon.... ?!?!?!

Awesome review! I mean AWESOME 😎

both good. i have macbook pro 2012 non retina 15 inches maxed i7, 16gb , 512gb ssd. now i need macbook air for travel.

Thank you!

How come your keyboard keys on the macbook air are different because they look different than mine, and i have the 2018 version

"Are you planning on doing any gaming"😂

thanks for the info, will go for macbook pro

lol 13 inch mop w/tb does not offer that more of a perf. those all Macs thermal throttles. in reality 13 inc map w/tb are faster but maybe about 10%. it all depends whether you like Touch Bar or not. for perf go with 15 inch Mac.

Guys please help me. I am going to buy the MacBook Air 2018 and I want to know if I can play some (with medium graphics) league of legends. I don’t want to buy it in order to play lol but I want to know if I have the possibility to do it

I am pretty sure that apple is not gonna upgrade 2108 macbook Air for next 20 yrs😂😂😂😂

macbook Pro 2017 w/o touchbar can use eGPU?

Like Air just bcs it’s have gold color 😍 if pro will have gold color it’s will be amazing

I'm confused with which one to get, air or pro for my college work and few video and photo editing sometime. Please help me out.....😀

I play Stadia using my MBP and it works great!

What is the program that he uses to show system resources and dl/ul speeds at the top bar thing?

How is the screen brightness of the mba?

30 sec faster to render the video with the 15” vs 13”, but cost like dubble te price.. i rather wait that 30sec of my life then spending that much for it.

Was that wordplay in the thumbnail. It says both pro and old for the red one

I have a tricky dilemma. I’m a college student and will mostly use the MacBook for essays and studying. However, I don’t mind paying the extra money for a pro if it will have a longer lifespan. Although I’m skeptical if I should buy the 2017 pro given how bad the publicity it gets in relation to the keyboard. Can someone please confirm if the constant tirade of bad rep the 2nd gen keyboard gets is over-dramatisation?

the thing is i bough an powerbank for 60 $ and it gives me 15 hours Battery life if i need it. just wanted to give an idea to you guys

im planning to get either macbook pro or macbook air, its for daily use such as using microsoft, etc and i also like photo editing using adobe photoshop and adobe lightroom. do you guys have any idea which one should i get ?

I’d choose MBA but can’t get past its dim screen. It’s a deal breaker.
