A traditionalist who still need SuperDrive, a Firewire port and an Ethernet port will choose the MacBook Pro. Processors are more hurried, certainly suitable for use heavyweight by power users and professionals. Plus, the RAM capacity can be increased up to 16GB. And do not forget the more large hard drive (500GB / 750GB). The screen resolution is lower than the MacBook Air, which is only 1280 × 800 pixels.
