In what situation should I get the MacBook Air over the MacBook Pro ? I currently have the Pro but I am open to getting the Air. (alien.top)

I really only use my laptop for studying, school work, watching videos of lectures which causes the laptop to heat up pretty hot.

The heating up would be my biggest concern.

I am also on my laptop 10 hours a day for studying.

Would a MacBook Air be okay with these concerns or should I get the Pro ?

The Air is just a really good consumer ultrabook. There's some crossover because the cheaper models of the Pro are comparable in price to the more expensive models of the Air but for me, I know I see no reason to pick up a Pro. I don't need the performance, and I like the fact that the Air has no fan. Granted modern Macbook fans don't get frustratingly loud but I love having a whisper quiet machine.
