I have always been of the biggest is better school and up until the past few months a 17" MBP was my everyday laptop.
Best games for macbook pro 2012 upgrade#
With the upgrade to Intel 4000, and the 8GB option, you should notice even better performance. I play a lot of games and do other demanding tasks on my 2011 Air with 4GB RAM/Intel 3000 and I get good performance. I would get the Air with the external superdrive unless the storage is a large factor for you. True the Air does have a higher quality screen, something not available on the Pro models. Graphics on both models are exactly the same unless you put 16GB in the Pro, in which case more memory is dedicated to the graphics (I think). This will give you an idea of how much you need.Īlso the Pro can be upgraded to 16GB RAM and the Air will only take 8GB but this is more than enough for your uses. Look at the hard drive on your current computer and see how much you have used.
It is true the storage on the Air is a lot less unless you are willing to spend hundreds of dollars upgrading it. The Pro has more processing power, something you may or may not notice depending on your uses. You can do this through Apple or you can do it yourself very easily and more cheaply. However the Pro can be upgraded with a SSD (same as the Air). If you compare the MacBook Air and Pro base models then yes, the Air is faster for everyday use. This choice is a nice position to be in ?
