Apple's new MacBook releases the Retina MacBook Pro and MacBook Air got updates as well. Let's compare the features and specs of the latest 13-in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and 13-in MacBook Air. MacBook Pro with Retina Display vs. 2015 MacBook Air 1. Sizes Based on maximum thickness, the Air is only 4 percent thinner but Retina MBP is a significantly thinner device. 2. Weight The MacBook Air tips the scales at about 15 percent lighter than the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. 3. Build No changes here either, as both have the same aluminum unibody exteriors from years past. 4. Display (size) Both machines have 13.3-in displays, with 16:10 aspect ratios. 5. Display (resolution) This is still a huge advantage for the Retina MacBook Pro, as its screen is 77 percent sharper. 6. Storage The base storage options are the same on both machines, but the Retina MacBook Pro reaches up a little higher. 7. SDXC Unlike that new 12-in MacBook, each of these machines has an SD card slot. These are great for photographers, as well as discreet storage expansion, courtesy of accessories like the JetDrive Lite. 8. Processor This is one of the biggest reasons to go for the Retina model, as its performance is in a higher class. 9. RAM This is another performance advantage for the rMBP. Here again the asterisk figures are configurable options. 10. Graphics The Retina model also has better integrated graphics. 11. Battery Along with portability and pricing, this is the other big reason to go for the MacBook Air – t 12. USB 3.0 Each laptop gives you two USB 3.0 ports. Apple clearly sees USB Type-C as the future, as that's the only port (including for power) found on the new 12-in model. 13. HDMI Only the Retina MacBook Pro has an HDMI port. You can use the Air's Thunderbolt port for Mini DisplayPort for video out, or use an adapter with one of its USB ports. 14. Software Both PCs run OS X Yosemite.
