macbook air vs macbook pro

[Guest]

Hey guy's,

I'm considering buying the cheapest macbook pro or the macbook air with the i7, 8GB ram
I am wondering if the price difference of 220 euro is really worth it the macbook is 2.7 ghz instead of 2.2 of the macbook air
andbecause of the other cpu the graphics are a slight upgrade with the macbook pro.

This is my first mac that I would buy and I am only going to use it for very light video editing (nothing fancy)
Who can give me detailed advice on this? I want to be sure that I am making the right choice

question would be why would you even want to spend that shit ton of money on their most times outdated hardware?

 

other than that, do you need it really thin and light? mb air

does thin suffice: mb pro

Well my other choice is a Dell inspiron, but I'm not sure if that will be a good choice, I do video editing on a low level and I don't need a dedicated graphic card, I only need fast ram and a decent cpu

this is way ahead of the macbooks, as far as i have seen they are still using 5th gen i3s and i5s, and your are paying about $500 more....

depending on where you are, specs might differ, but hq cpus >>>> u cpus

5577 has higher performance specs but uses a low quality TN panel with poor contrast and viewing angles, like the Inspiron 7567 used to offer as its only choice for FHD. Wouldn't be my pick. I would pick an IPS Inspiron 7567.
