Both have two USB 3.0 connectors, a headphone jack, a card reader, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. It offers one extra Thunderbolt 2 port and an additional HDMI one. When it comes to connectivity, the MBP wins hands down. Relatively recently (10.13) it became possible to upgrade these systems with an aftermarket adapter and stock NVMe M.2 form factor SSDs. The SSDs used by MacBook Air and MacBook Pros shipped between 2013-2017 used a proprietary adapter. Apple MacBook Pro 2013 vs Apple MacBook Air 2013: Connectivity Apple laptops are somewhat notoriously resistant to upgrades. Graphics processing is handled by an integrated Iris 5100 graphics card with 1.5GB of VRAM. The 13' MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013) - ME864LL/A was released in 2013 and features a 2.4 GHz Core i5 processor and 13' Retina display.

As expected they both are devoid of optical drives and have a SDXC card reader. 13' MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013) / 2.4 GHz Core i5 / ME864LL/A ME864LL/A / MacBookPro11,1 / A1502. Apple MacBook Pro 2013 vs Apple MacBook Air 2013: Hardwareīoth laptops come with 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory and the MacBook Air offers 256GB SSD compared to 128GB for the MacBook Pro. The MBP can drive two displays at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels compared to only one for the MBA and also boosts support for 4K displays albeit at 30Hz.

With a monstrous 4.1MP (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) spread over 13.3in, the MBP offers more than three times the pixel density and the absolute number of pixels compared to the MacBook Air. Perhaps one of the reasons behind the relatively low battery life of the MacBook Pro has to do with its 'Retina' display. Apple MacBook Pro 2013 vs Apple MacBook Air 2013: Display Hence, while the 95Whr battery that equips the MacBook Pro may well offer nearly twice the capacity of the one in the MacBook Air, the latter trumps its big brother when it comes to battery life with up to 12 hours worth of wireless web browsing, 50% more. The processor on the MacBook Air for example is likely to be an ultra low-voltage model which would explain its 100% Turbo Boost capabilities. Having a much more powerful processor and more advanced graphics capabilities means that compromises had been done. Apple MacBook Pro 2013 vs Apple MacBook Air 2013: Battery
