| I have a Macbook Pro and love it. My only regret is that I chose the smaller one and it doesn't have the right-hand number block on the keyboard. That also means the keys on the keyboard are spread out a little more than a standard keyboard. Next time, I will buy the larger one.

| I love my MacBook Pro which is now 4 years old and running perfectly. If I ever need another computer, it will be the latest version of MacBook Pro. I've been a Mac user forever, and also love my 2 iPads, iPod, and iPhone

| Very easy. Do you want to download from CDs or via internet? Internet downloads will be the same as with your iPad. I think the new MacBook Pro does not have a CD/DVD drive anymore, so you'd get an external USB one and use that.

| I bought my MacBook Pro used (about 4yrs old) from Cathy and loved it. But I was reluctantly forced to let my daughter take it a few months ago. She too had a brand new Pro which was purchase brand new in September for college. There really was no noticeable difference in speed between the two. When I purchase my MacBook Air the sales guy talked me into it VS the new Pro. I really like it and if your current laptop is dying a slow death I suggest you make the purchase. After handing over my MacBook to my daughter I tried to do tasks on my iPad but there were compatability issues with websites all the time and the iOS for the iPad just wasn't working for what I needed to do. It did take some getting used to with how Apple programs work but it really is very user friendly. I'll never go back!

| Yes, you are correct. It was one of the reasons that I chose the Air over the Pro. He told me that unless you do a lot of graphic work the Air had a faster processor and the battery lasted longer than the Pro. It's also only 2 lbs so it really is like air. The other thing that he mentioned was there are now no moving internal parts (hard drive) in both the Pro and Air. They stay cool unlike a laptop or even the older model Pro. When we bought the Pro in September that model was a hard drive with a fan. The newest model did not. The Air was about $200 cheaper than the Pro.

| I have both a macbook pro and Air. The air has a longer battery life, but other than that, I don't see a difference between the graphics and processor. I think it is so worth it, in my opinion. |

Does the MB Air have USB ports? Must have to hook up external hard drives and CD/DVD drive. Light weight and portability is not a major issue for me as mine rarely leaves my home... mostly on my desk, and not far from electrical outlet.
