MacBook Pro vs Air 2015: Design

All of Apple’s MacBook laptops have great aluminium bodies. The bottom, the lid and the keyboard surround are all-metal. MacBook Airs and Pros all feel great.
Their contours are a bit different, though. There are 15-inch and 13-inch versions of the MacBook Pro, and both have fairly blocky bodies. Both are 18mm thick.
Go by the dimensions alone and the Pro laptops don’t seem all that much chunkier than the 11-inch and 13-inch Airs, which are both 17mm. All that fuss for 1mm?

Well, in reality the MacBook Airs do seem significantly slimmer because their bodies are much more tapered. At their thinnest the Air laptops are only 3mm thick, and you can really feel it when you pick them up.
In pure practical terms, what matters more than just the feel is weight. Here’s the weights of the various models available in 2015:
MacBook Pro 15: 2.02kg
MacBook Pro 13: 1.58kg

MacBook Air 13: 1.35kg
MacBook Air 11: 1.08kg
The only one of these MacBooks you probably wouldn’t want to lug around every day is the 15-inch MacBook Pro. However, every little helps when it comes to portability. The 11-inch MacBook will pretty much sink into your bag without trace. In a good way.
All of these laptops only come in one shade, silver. While the new MacBook comes in Space Gray, Gold and Silver rather like Apple’s iPhones, the old guard laptops don’t.
It’s actually the MacBook Airs that are ageing a bit in design terms, though. They have contoured screen bezels rather than fully-flat screens, and quite obvious rubber protectors around the display. It's clearly a design of a few years ago.
