Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro 2018. The MacBook Pro vs. the MacBook Air: What should you buy?

The MacBook A vs. the MacBook Pro: In October last year, Apple seemed to be confirming that it would stop upgrading its MacBook Aire line and instead focus on its MacBook Pred line. Instead, there are a few releases of the new MacBook Plus and Apple will continue to sell the older MacBook Plus as well. Yes, we had the smaller 12-inch MacBook, but otherwise little and honestly, who can live with just one portable?

And one of the most unusual things Apple introduced last year was the new touch-sensitive touch panel to replace the buttons on the touchscreen, the so-called Toshiba Display for OLEDs. Designed to be a MacBook Pro Series landmark, the Touch bar is no longer a more affordable option with hot keys.

You can buy a MacBook Pro with or without a touch bar, but of course MacBook Air isn't equipped with anything like it. Like the MacBook Pros 2017, the Touch ID of the 2018 release was returned. A new Apple T2 microchip lets you make iTunes quick and secure iTunes transactions with your fingers.

In addition, the Touch ID Reader enables faster unlocking of your laptops. If you' re looking forward to the legendary 17-inch MacBook Pro returning, turn your back, Apple's largest notebook screen still sits at 15 inches. 2018 MacBook Pros come in two sizes: 13 and 15 inches, just like before.

And it looks like a mix between the old MacBook Pro and the smaller MacBook, with the same button spring action for thinner buttons, a bigger song pad, and Force Touch (Tap to Click) activated by default. What's more, you'll get a new version of the MacBook Pro with the same button spring action for thinner buttons, a bigger track pad, and a newer version of the MacBook Pro. It' s still made of aluminum, and you'll know it's an Apple notebook.

MacBook Air has become an icon, but the conical look and relatively large bezel are beginning to look outdated. Apple hasn't refreshed it for years and once again leaves it alone as if it were the end. You can see from the chart below that the smaller MacBook Pro is not far from MacBook Air in size, so even one of MacBook Air's perceived main advantages - lightweight and mobility - is quite controversial in 2018.

Nothing reveals the MacBook Air's history more than the screen. It' certainly not enough now to compare with the MacBook Pros' 2650 x 1600 (13-inch) and 2880 x 1800 (15-inch) retina screens. In addition, the upgraded Pros' screens feature more than 500 levels of luminosity, a broader color space (100% of the RGB range in our tests), and a True Tone ambience lighting color grading application that Apple launched with the 9. 7-inch iPad Pro - better in every way.

MacBook Professional, as the "Pro" in its name says, is more for pros, while Air is the preferred companion for those who want something more wearable for lightweight work on the go. Each 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with an Intel Kaby Lake-U Refresh 8th-generation quad-core under-the-hood processor, while the 15-inch models feature 8th-generation six-core processors, with the highest quality optional Intel Core e9-enabled.

Save your data with 8GB or 16GB of 2133MHz dual density DDR3 random access memory using the 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro or 16GB or 32GB of 2400MHz DDR4 fast DDR4 random access. In general, you can get 256GB, 512GB, 1TB or 2TB of on-board space with all 13-inch choices and between 256GB and 4TB with the 15-inch choices.

It goes without saying that these are far more capable than MacBook Airs, but that shouldn't really come as a shock. The 13-inch MacBook Air comes in both 8GB and the MacBook Pros can be set to either 8GB or 16GB of memory. The new MacBook Pros give you over 10 hour power on your Mac.

We have found in testing that the 13-inch model with the Intel i7-8559U, would give you about six hours. Intel i7-8559U is a great phone. The MacBook Airs tends to outperform that number, and Apple says that it should give you 12 full days of web surfing and 30 days of stand-by without wires, and in our experiment that's true. Like the slim 12-inch MacBook, the new series of MacBooks is all about USB-C.

MacBook Pro separates the individual types A and Thunderbolt connectors and substitutes four types C3 connectors for them. Within an hours Apple's lowest priced notebook went from 749 pounds (for the MacBook Air 11-inch) to 949 pounds for the 13-inch MacBook Air. MacBook Pros' new range is also not easy on your purse, especially if you are living in the UK.

MacBook Pro 2018 with Core e5 starts at 1749 pounds and is the most affordable 13-inch MacBook Pro 2018. Like always, the memory really sees that these rates would rise and at the most £3329 would be paid for a full-featured 13-inch MacBook Pro iPhone5. MacBook Pro is 3599 for the MacBook Pro tested by us. Briefly, Apple has almost no good reason to buy MacBook Air anymore.

However, if your MacBook Air is the only MacBook you can buy, you can't buy one of the MacBook Pros. Instead, we have a number of Windows-based MacBook Air options that might suit your taste.
