I've been thinking of buying a new laptop since mine's a bit old and the LCD screen is a bit moody when it comes to the resolution and all. Since my brother owns a Pro, I get to experience first hand the performance and features. Although, it's a bit confusing for I'm not an apple user. But I'm definitely willing to try it out.
However, I'm having a hard time choosing between the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. I wanted something that is handy yet full with features and great in performance that's why I've been eyeing on this Air since it's super light and thin that I could carry it around. But the downside is that it is low on memory and I'm not sure if there's a cable for projectors and the likes.
So now, can anyone give me a list of pros and cons of owning a MacBook Pro as well as the MacBook Air? Thank you in advance.
P.S. Is it true that Apple will be releasing another MacBook Air with better features?

No idea if there will be a new model for Apple's MacBook Air. What's coming-up for now is the Mac OS Lion and iCloud.
Both MacBook Pro 13 inch and MacBook Air are designed for handy or portability. The only difference is the processing power on how critical your and lifestyle will be. The MacBook Pro 13 has more punches than MacBook Air. Technically speaking, you can have more multitask processing on the MacBook Pro 13 than MacBook Air. Example is that when you have 25 or more youtube videos playing on a fast internet connection you can feel the slowness of the processing on the MacBook Air. Or if you doing word processing, watching youtube videos, editing photoshop and video the processing are much slower on the MacBook Air. But simple processing can be fast on the MacBook Air, just like on using an iPad or other iDevices - they are effectively and efficiently doing simple tasks or processing.
Yes, you can attach projectors on MacBook Air. Via Mini DisplayPort.

Hey Gen! I currently own a Macbook Pro 13, and I just love it. But I also had second thoughts on buying a Macbook Air instead because it's very handy. Although, I personally think you can do more with Macbook Pro. One of the cons for Macbook Air is that it doesn't have a CD drive. It kind of is important to me because I frequently burn CD/DVDs.
