6 Design & Display
Both models feature Apple’s signature aluminum unibody design — and the similarities don’t end there. While the MacBook Air used to be the vanguard of portability, the gap has narrowed. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is about the same size and only a bit heavier.
They also have a strikingly similar 13.3-inch Retina display, but the MacBook Pro is slightly brighter and supports P3 color space (which is a wide-gamut color space, unlike the MacBook Air’s sRGB). Both devices sport two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so the playing field is even there. It’s worth noting that the more expensive MacBook Pro with OLED Touch Bar features four Thunderbolt 3 ports rather than two on the basic model.
