The difference in performance is not really noticeable as CPU on the Air and the super speed PCIe SSD does not allow really big benchmarking figurrs to come up and decide on specific model purchase. Now my recommendation is to get the Air 2015 or maybe to wait for next generation Airs as they use ultra low voltage. It is a mobile chip, not as that on the U chip on the Air. It is simply because of the Intel chip installed on it. It is not an issue with my Pro 2012, neither with the battery. I tried boot camp on both machines, on the Pro 2012 it heats up, the battery does not go for more than 3 to 4 hours and the heat is just sizzling with boot camp. However, I have also the Mac Air 2015, as you know processors are different and the CPU gen on the 2015 Air is better in terms of power usage, heat and of course the use of PCIe SSD. That made a huge difference in performance, battery life and also heat and noise. I upgraded the RAM to 8GB and replaced the spinning mechanic hard drive with SSD from Samsung. I bought it in 2014 and it had at that time 4GB of ram and 500GB of hDD.
