Macbook Air 13" vs Macbook Pro 13"

firstbread2794 — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 21:39:32 +0800

I'm looking at the two baseline models of the Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air.

A Macbook Pro can now be bought for 3150 ringgit, and the Macbook Air for 3400 ringgit.

I personally have taken a liking for the Macbook Air but reviews say that the screen is pretty bad. There's no sweet spot for the screen.

As the angle of viewing changes, the contrast difference gets appalling.
So what are your thoughts on this?

Should the i5 sandy bridge be given up for a reduction of a kilogram? And not to forget around half an inch thickness as well.

Just want to know what you guys think about this. :-)

I heard that the graphics, HD 3000 vs 320M, is pretty similar. The 320M performs better in 3D intensive games, while the HD3000 performs better on online MMORPG games.

UPDATE: What do you guys think about the possibility of using the Thunderbolt I/O to attach external graphic cards? Not really high clocked ones, but just the pretty average ones that can run games on medium settings smoothly. Thunderbolt is 10Giga BITS per second, and since its two way communication a hypothetical 20Giga BITS per second is possible.
