Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air vs. 13-inch MacBook Pro (non-Touch Bar)

“Now that Apple has finally updated MacBook Air, a lot of people are trying to figure out if they should buy the new model over the comparably priced 2017 non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro,” Max Yuryev writes for AppleInsider.
“The new MacBook Air finally gets a Retina display, which is great, but compared to the MacBook Pro’s display it’s a lot dimmer,” Yuryev writes. “The Pro’s screen supports P3 Wide-color gamut, which the Air does not, making it much more color accurate as well.”
