Differences between Apple's two 13in MacBook Pro VS MacBook Air
MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air
If you're looking to buy a new MacBook, there are always a few options to choose between - right now there's the MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro - with more options within each model.
Only two of them come in 13in sizes though, so if you know you want a laptop with a 13in screen, you've got to pick between the MacBook Air and the smaller size of MacBook Pro. In this article we compare the two, leaving out the 12in MacBook.
Dimensions and weight
When it launched in 2008 the MacBook Air was the lightest laptop available. Over the years that followed, the weight of the MacBook Pro has also declined, so the difference is almost gone.
The 2017 13in MacBook Pro weighs 1.37kg, and is just 1.49cm thick, while the main body is 30.41 x 21.24cm.
You might expect the MacBook Air to be notably lighter and thinner, but you'd be surprised. It's 1.35kg - only fractionally lighter - and its thickest point is actually thicker than the Pro at 1.7cm - though thanks to its gradient, that decreases to 0.3cm at the end.
It's also ever so slightly bigger across, at 32.5 x 22.7cm.
If you're curious about how the 12in MacBook fits in to this, it weighs 0.92kg, and its dimensions are 28.05 x 19.65cm, and just 0.35-1.31cm thick.
