In fact, both computers are very competitive for their weight class, especially when you consider the added necessities of a more powerful processor and graphics in the MacBook Pro. If we weren’t dealing with very low weights already, that wouldn’t make much of a difference at all. In terms of weight, there’s about a one and a half pound difference between the two laptops. The singular port on the new MacBook might be a problem for some users, but it will depend on how Apple decides to handle multiple necessary connections at the same time. The ultraportable MacBook packs a brand new keyboard, trackpad, and impressively small logic board into a computer that’s only. Winner: MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display Design

In this case though, you’re opting for a performance bonus over the new Core M, at the cost of added fans and cooling, as well as a bit more weight to carry all the battery power you need. The Intel Core i5 has been a standard processor for laptops and desktops for a few years now, and although it’s been a stable and functional option since then, it’s starting to show its age. It also requires far less cooling than the Core i5 processor, meaning it can operate without a fan at all, for a silent, lightweight machine. Incredible power efficiency allows the new Macbook to run for the same amount of time as the Pro on a battery with only about half the capacity. The MacBook’s Intel Core M processor has a number of noticeable benefits in the new system. The new MacBook is not intended to take on the high speeds and graphical performance of the MacBook Pro line. When it comes to power and performance the MacBook Pro is the clear winner, but that isn’t as bad as it sounds.
