[iMore Question]

I am looking at purchasing a new laptop. I currently have a (gulp) windows laptop and really have never been satisfied with them. I am looking at either a 13" Macbook pro or a Macbook Air. I know either will work just fine for my pages, numbers, etc. One of the contemplating issues I have is with Keynote. I do a number of very long presentations that include video and animations. Most of them are in the 500-800Mb range in size. HDMI output highly preferred. For any of you who use Keynote frequently on the Macbook Air or Macbook pro, will I see any difference between using the two?

Well I don't use Keynote, but I can tell you the deciding factor for me. I went with the Pro because it had better specs, and it really wasn't THAT much bigger and heavier than the air. In computer terms you ALWAYS get the best you can afford. The most memory, the best processor etc, and with the Pro there are no compromises.

The Air will be fine for Keynote. You might appreciate the Pro's Retina display for actually building your presentations.
