Need a laptop for school, and was contemplating between a Macbook Air or Pro, not really sure what the difference is.. I know that the Air is cheaper which is nice considering its already about $1000 CAD

What am I going to use it for?

Well nothing heavy, ofcourse not gaming, I will be using it for school, maybe some photoshop, and just regular internet surfing. Anyone with good Mac knowledge, and some tips please post below. If you're a gold member add me and we can talk on chat. if you need to know more of what I'm going to see it for, or just need more info all together just post, and i'll reply.

I would look at it this way - if you are expecting to use Photoshop only occasionally, maybe once a week, and you have an external drive etc - you are good with the Air.

If you are doing daily design work, and especially if you are working with RAW (Camera) files prior to Photoshop editing, you might want to consider the Pro for performance and that sexy crisp screen.

USE BOOKS... THEY NEVER LET YOU DOWN. USE A PENCIL, YOU ONLY HAVE TO SHARPEN IT. USE AN ERASER.. YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET A NEW ONE. GET A PIECE OF PAPER, THERE ARE TREES ALL AROUND YOU.

He asked which one to buy, the pro or air. I didn't see a paper option.

Anyways, I've heard of some good reviews about the Pro.
