So, the MacBook Air or Pro 13"?

I'm a GCSE student and I'm also interested in getting myself my first Macbook. I am interested in getting an Air because I know I won't be doing anything CPU-intensive -- perhaps the best thing I can think of is YouTube videos! I've seen many reviews of the 13" Air (2010 of course) and seeing as it is actually faster than the 13" Pro in booting up programs in general and web browsing, and because the primary thing I am using it for is Web Surfing -- along with typing documents for school, listening to some music and playing the occasional video game.

Also, the 13" 128GB Air is cheaper than the cheapest MBP, that and all other things considered, would the MacBook Air suit my needs well? Thanks for your help!

Update:

Oh yeah, about the CD drive. Yeah, I guess I can live without it, because I watch my movies on my TV or online streaming and as for games, well, there are plenty of online ones :D

    Yeah, the Air sounds good, but be aware that it contains no internal optical drive (CD/DVD) so if you want to have that compatibility, either buy the MacBook or MacBook Pro, or buy an external CD/DVD drive (which can be up to $100).
