don't see a whole lot of difference. Why would one choose a Pro over an Air for 3 bills? The 1 "extra" GPU core?
Not that I'm running out tmrw ...

The brightness does make a significant difference. Oh, and the MBP has the touch bar.

The brightness does make a significant difference. Not if you keep the brightness turned down anyway.  Oh, and the MBP has the touch bar. So, good reason to get the Air instead? :wink:

I've got my eye on an M1 Air because my use case is light enough that a fan isn't needed.
My screen brightness is never over 50%, so I'm not nit-picky. WIth an M1 at the ready, I should be very happy with the base 8/256 configuration. I thought the MBP has a couple more ports, but I slept through class, and... the MBA is more my speed. |
