Macbook Pro 13" for $999, then add whatever SSD you're willing to spring for.
This way you get
* the unibody
* the magsafe
* the battery of the MBP
* the flexibility to easily use OSX if you ever need to (without doing the sketchy hackintosh approach)
* the resale value of the MBP
And you get a lot more machine for the money than the MBA. The one cost you have to accept is the weight. But that's giving you a very sturdy machine, something you might value.
The video performance on this generation of 13" MBP is the one weak spot, but it will suffice if you don't need to be on the bleeding edge.
- gtufano 15y agoThe Air screen is WAY less reflective than the one on MBP 13", to the point of being usable. If you, like me, cannot bear to see your reflection in the LCD :) then the Air is the only alternative to the WAY more expensive (and weighty) MBP 15" (with the BTO opaque LCD).
- mahyarm 15y agoThe i5 Macbook Pro 13" has the same performance as the i7 Macbook Air. (5910 vs 5830 on geekbench).
