At 2.8 pounds and 0.2~0.6 inches thick, the 13-inchMacBook Air is a little lighter than the new13-inch MacBook Pro (3 pounds; 0.6 inches). The Air'stapered design also looks sleeker. The MacBook Air featuresdual Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack.
Considering this, is MacBook air lighter than pro?
When it launched in 2008 the MacBook Air was thelightest laptop available. Over the years that followed, theweight of the MacBook Pro has also declined, so thedifference is a lot less than it was. That said, the 2019MacBook Air weighs less than the older MacBookAir model did; 1.25kg compared to 1.35kg.
Beside this, is the new MacBook Pro thinner than the air?
You'd think the MacBook Air would be drasticallythinner than its Pro counterpart, but that's not thecase. Quite the contrary; the 2018 MacBook Air is 0.61inches at its thickest point, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro isactually 0.59 inches at its thickest point, which is slightlythinner than the Air!
