The MacBook Pro has slightly better battery life, GPU, speakers, and microphone, and screen brightness.. The MacBook Pro also has the Touch Bar, but the Air just has a regular row of function keys. Another pretty big difference is that the MacBook Air has no fans where as the MacBook Pro does have fans.

The main differences that I can see are that you have more USB ports on the Pro, and you are able to run the pro without the processor throttling down to a slower speed because of thermal issues. Basically, the Pro has a Fan, the Air doesn't. I bought the Air with 8gb, however ive decided to return it for a Pro with 16gb. I thought 8 would be enough, but it turns out After Effects needs a lot of ram.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The MacBook Pro also provides 2 hours of extra battery life. The performance (all-around) will be better on the Pro as the Air uses a software-throttling system to control heat, which means if there's a scenario where a fan would be required to cool the machine, the Air will simply throttle the CPU/GPU as a way to deter or alleviate heat.
