Base 13-Inch MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air

Apple recently updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the $1,299 base model remains a popular alternative to the $999 MacBook Air. To help with your buying decision, read our comparison of the notebooks below.


The differences between the base 13-inch MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air are quite nuanced, with each notebook possessing some unique features.

What's the Same

  • 13-inch Retina display with 227 pixels per inch and True Tone support

  • Magic Keyboard with reliable scissor switch design

  • Force Touch trackpad

  • 2 × Thunderbolt 3 ports

  • 3.5mm headphone jack

  • 256GB of SSD storage standard, configurable up to 2TB

  • Touch ID

  • T2 security chip

  • 720p webcam

  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi, also known as Wi-Fi 5

  • Bluetooth 5.0

  • Three-microphone array with directional beamforming

  • Dolby Atmos surround sound

Advantages of Base 13-Inch MacBook Pro

  • The display supports the P3 wide color gamut for more vibrant and lifelike colors

  • The display is brighter at up to 500 nits vs. 400 nits on MacBook Air

  • Touch Bar

  • Slightly better sounding speakers

Advantages of MacBook Air

  • Up to 11 hours of battery life vs. 10 hours on base 13-inch MacBook Pro

  • Weighs slightly less at 2.8 pounds vs. 3.1 pounds for base 13-inch MacBook Pro

  • Faster RAM: 3733MHz LPDDR4X vs. 2133MHz LPDDR3 for base 13-inch MacBook Pro

  • 6K display support vs. 5K on base 13-inch MacBook Pro
Unlike the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air also has a gold color option.

Performance


Generally speaking, the MacBook Air remains best suited for lightweight day-to-day tasks like web browsing and creating spreadsheets, while the MacBook Pro is better equipped to handle more intensive tasks like rendering large video files. This is not only because the MacBook Pro has faster processors than the Air, but also because it has a more advanced thermal design for dissipating heat inside the computer.

While the MacBook Air has been updated with Intel's latest 10th-generation processors, the base 13-inch MacBook Pro continues to use older 8th-generation processors. However, the Air uses lower-wattage Y-series chips with lower clock speeds, so the Pro still has faster overall performance, as confirmed by benchmarks.

Geekbench 5 scores for the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air configurations:
  • MacBook Air / 1.1GHz dual-core Core i3: 1,002 single-core and 1,998 multi-core

  • MacBook Air / 1.1GHz quad-core Core i5: 1,055 single-core and 2,645 multi-core

  • MacBook Air / 1.2GHz quad-core Core i7: 1,102 single-core and 2,843 multi-core

  • MacBook Pro / 1.4GHz quad-core Core i5: 927 single-core and 3,822 multi-core

  • MacBook Pro / 1.7GHz quad-core Core i7: 1,036 single-core and 3,909 multi-core

Takeaways:
  • The base model 13-inch MacBook Pro for $1,299 has up to 91 percent faster multi-core performance than the base model MacBook Air for $999

  • If considering the MacBook Air, upgrading to the quad-core Core i5 option is well worth the extra $100, as it is up to 32 percent faster than the base model and more closely rivals the base 13-inch MacBook Pro



Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000, which is the score of an Intel Core i3-8100. Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance. Compare with other Mac benchmarks here.

Bottom Line


If you value portability and up to an extra hour of battery life, and are willing to sacrifice some performance, the MacBook Air is a relatively good value. Just remember to consider spending an extra $100 on the quad-core Core i5 processor option, as the $999 base model is equipped with a particularly sluggish dual-core processor.

For more intensive tasks, the 13-inch MacBook Pro's faster processors and more advanced thermal design will allow you to push the limits more without the fans running obnoxiously. You'll also get the Touch Bar, a brighter and more vibrant display, and slightly better sounding speakers with high dynamic range.

Vsevolod Dyomkin: Dead-Tree Version of "Programming Algorithms"

I have finally obtained the first batch of the printed "Programming Algorithms" books and will shortly be sending them to the 13 people who asked for a hardcopy.

Here is a short video showing the book "in action":

If you also want to get a copy, here's how you do it:

  1. Send the money to my PayPal account: $30 if you want normal shipping or $35 if you want a tracking number. (The details on shipping are below).
  2. Shoot me an email to vseloved@gmail.com with your postal address.
  3. Once I see the donation, I'll go to the post office and send you the book.
  4. Optionaly step: if you want it to be signed, please, indicate it in your letter.
Shipping details: As I said originally, the price of the dead-tree version will be $20+shipping. I'll ship via the Ukrainian national post. You can do the fee calculation online here (book weight is 0.58 kg, size is 23 x 17 x 2 cm): https://calc.ukrposhta.ua/international-calculator. Alas, the interface is only in Ukrainian. According to the examples I've tried, the cost will be approximately $10-15. To make it easier, I've just settled on $10 shipping without a tracking number of $15 if you want a tracking number. Regardless of your country. I don't know how long it will take - probably depends on the location (I'll try to inquire when sending).

The book was already downloaded more than 1170 times (I'm not putting the exact number here as it's constantly growing little by little). I wish I knew how many people have, actually, read it in full or in part. I've also received some error corrections (special thanks goes to Serge Kruk), several small reviews and letters of encouragement. Those were very valuable and I hope to see more :)

Greetings from the far away city of Lima, Peru!
I loved this part: "Only losers don't comment their code, and comments will be used extensively"
Thank you so much for putting this comprehensive collection of highly important data structures, i'm already recommending this to two of my developers, which I hope i'll induce into my Lisp addiction.
--Flavio Egoavil

And here's another one:

Massively impressive book you've written! I've been a Lisp programmer for a long time and truly appreciate the work put in here. Making Lisp accessible for more people in relation to practical algorithms is very hard to do. But you truly made it. You'll definitely end up in the gallery of great and modern Lisp contributions like "Land of Lisp" and "Let Over Lambda". Totally agree with your path to focus on practical algorithmic thinking with Lisp and not messing it up with macros, oop and other advanced concepts.
--Lars Hård

Thanks guys, it's really appreciated!

If you feel the same or you've liked the book in some respect and have found it useful, please, continue to share news about it: that definitely helps attract more readers. And my main goal is to make it as widely read as possible...

2020/05/06_sovsem_ebanulis - Когда меня отпустит?

На третий месяц конституционной истерики индеец Зоркий Глаз догадался, что над ним просто издеваются.

На самом деле это удивительное ощущение, когда ты смотришь живое кино о бесстыдстве эпохи. Только это не эпоха какого-нибудь Нерона, а наши дни в отдельно взятой стране.

Единственная цель изменений в Конституции — это как-то объяснить, почему Владимир Путин больше 20 лет не может выпустить из жадного кулака власть, данную ему однажды на 4 года. Это беда не Путина, к слову, а народа: на всем постсоветском пространстве, кроме самых цивилизованных республик (Украины, Грузии, немножко Армении) установилась та же ситуация: побултыхавшись немного без Генерального секретаря партии республики, помыкавшись со своей новой прогрессивной Конституцией самостоятельного государства, феодальное общество быстро заскучало и выдвинуло нового царька на веки вечные. И каждый из этих царьков по-своему объяснил своему народу, почему закон о смене власти конкретно к нему не относится. Ну там в Белоруссии он типа лучший хозяйственник и без него все развалится, в Туркмении — великий сын неба или кто он там, в Казахстане — отец народа великой степи, и так далее. Этот процесс кристаллизации местных царьков на обломках СССР идёт уже 30 лет, и мы привыкли. В России до последнего года пытались делать вид, что мы Европа и у нас все цивилизованно, без царьков, просто законы такие, что позволили чуть задержаться. Но в 2020 решили, что зачем цирк, расшаркивания и исходные схемы, если можно все обнулить без цирковых номеров и джигитовки. Тоже смешно, но речь не об этом. Затем были выделены деньги на рекламу — надо как-то объяснить народу, почему важно прийти и проголосовать за изменения в Конституции, которые касаются не его (народа), а одного лишь Путина. И понеслось... Это жалкое зрелище, когда задача поставлена, а как ее решить — креатива нет:

Какие нахуй семейные ценности будут в исправленной Конституции, каких не было в старой? Или вот совсем кризис мысли — котики. В любой непонятной ситуации рисуй котиков. Котиков все любят, проголосуют за котика, заодно и за поправки в Конституцию. Вид у котика на снимке совершенно охуевший, и его можно понять:

Какие нахуй отношения с животными регламентирует Конституция РФ?! Это же смех и портрет эпохи. А вот совсем уже прекрасно — волонтеры. Вообще волонтерское движение возникает по определению там, где не справляется власть. Поэтому в Конституции оно не прописано ни в какой. Ни в новой, ни в старой, ни в американской. Но мне всё-таки кажется, что художник тонко троллил, нарисовав добровольцев, закапывающих новую Конституцию нахуй:

Should You Stay Or Should You Go - Bugging In Vs Bugging Out

To bug in or to bug out that is the question. Nobody can argue that being prepared in case of an emergency or disaster is a bad thing. If your like myself and live in an area that’s prone to natural disasters (in my case earthquakes) you would be very stupid not to have some level of preparation. For many this means having a bug out bag packed with all the survival goodies one could ever want and ready to go at all times. Again I think it’s a very smart idea and I have one myself.

Health vs. Wealth? Public Health Policies and the Economy During Covid-19 -- by Zhixian Lin, Christopher M. Meissner

We study the impact of non-pharmaceutical policy interventions (NPIs) like “stay-at-home” orders on the spread of infectious disease. NPIs are associated with slower growth of Covid-19 cases. NPIs “spillover” into other jurisdictions. NPIs are not associated with significantly worse economic outcomes measured by job losses. Job losses have been no higher in US states that implemented “stay-at-home” during the Covid-19 pandemic than in states that did not have “stay-at-home”. All of these results demonstrate that the Covid-19 pandemic is a common economic and public health shock. The tradeoff between the economy and public health today depends strongly on what is happening elsewhere. This underscores the importance of coordinated economic and public health responses.
