MacBook Pro (2010) vs MacBook Air (2010)?

For Christmas I am either getting the MacBook Pro or the MacBook Air. I am not exactly sure which one is better. I don't want to end up getting the wrong computer and regretting it. I've done research on both of the computers, but not exactly sure. Help please!

Thanks!

    Well I would get a PC but between those two get the pro, Air's are cool to play with but not to own. The air is way less powerful, doesnt have an optical (CD) drive which i rarely use but you do need one every now and then, are same size length/ height. the Pro is already super thin and is just soooooo powerful compared to an air it also has a legit amount of ports. If you think the size of the air is nice and want to have you bag be lighter it would be the same as caring one less notebook (like paper) its not worth it.

    MacBook pro smokes the air. The only thing the air is good for is being thin. Pro has better software
