If the Air had 120hz it would be the absolute perfect laptop for most people. I get most don’t care about that but it would be nice for sure.

Base Pro is my Fav. Coming from M2 Air. The extra jump in SSD, speaker quality and screen quality is worth every penny. Higher nits and extra battery is a beast. M4 Air is worth the purchase if you are tight with budget and like the lightness of it. Those who came from Air to Pro. You know what i am saying.

If I didn’t work as a Software Engineer and used my laptop for work, I would definitely go for a MacBook Air. The base model is now 16GB, and the 512GB storage option is a great deal for the money. However, I need all the power because I’m running containers, virtual machines, databases, LLMs, and I’ve also started playing games on my MacBook (there are a few big titles available on the App Store). So, I decided to go with the M4 Pro MacBook Pro instead. But for a regular user who uses a laptop to browse the internet and watch movies on Netflix, the MacBook Air is more than enough.
@BestPleb
After weeks of research, I was set on the Air but when I went to the Apple store and saw that black cover, I made the last minute change to the Pro 😂
@_isaacvaughan
Honestly for me I’d choose the Pro just for the ports!
@kingshukbiswas2723
Using the MacBook Pro M4 for last 6 months, and I must say- it’s worth every penny. The display, performance, battery life- all are top notch for my regular use case. Also, having SD card slot and HDMI port built in is quality of life improvement. But at the same time, I must say, if you’re an absolute casual user who just need a Laptop for presentation, word or xcel- then definitely MacBook Air is the best bang for buck machine that Apple has ever made!
@IQverymuch
if you get the pro, you get double the storage, WAY better display, louder and bassier speakers, slightly larger display, 6 hours more battery life, and a fan to cool it all down. I think that if you can spend the extra money, get the pro unless you want ur laptop to be slightly less heavy and thinner.
@andrewcocho2467
I have a Macbook pro 2017 and jumped on the Air 2024 15”. I really wanted a more portability option and the M4 chip really is fast. I don’t regret on buying it…oh and saved money
@SimplyPops
I bought the high end 13" M4 Air just for traveling coming from the 16" Pro Max. Still have have both
@katinasoutherland7693
im watching this on my MacBook Pro M4. this is my 1st macbook im beyond excited & loving everything about it. i haven’t had a laptop in a very long time. both are amazing either way you go.
@nafis9465
he said, if you’re thinking about the air, you’re poor😂 oop! clocked that😂😂
@StillLearn
I just picked one up for $837. I had it in my cart on Amazon while I debated buying it. My girlfriend talked me into it and the price went down from $850 to $837 between the debate and buying it. Bought it with a big ah smile on my face
@EugenioLangdoc
Thank you for the comparison between both MacBook Air vs pro
@Emrahsuna
I actually have both. i use my MacBook air m4 way more than the pro version. The MacBook air is light, fast and basically runs everything the pro does. But I also love my MacBook pro because it has all the ports I need. My Macbook air M4 never gets hot, even running FCP for hours, I haven't noticed any heat distribution.
@mlhollday
I upgraded to the M4 Air from a 2017 Pro 2 weeks ago. I was debating on the M4 Air or an older version Pro for a discounted price, like the M2 or M3 Pro. I had to admit to myself that, with my work load, I really don't need a Pro. I am loving the M4 Air! I'm very happy with my decision.
@walterdbrown
My current plan is getting a Macbook Air with the 512gb that includes the 10-core CPU/GPU. Then later on invest on a Mac Mini with the M4 Pro chip to be my power machine. I won’t do much on it, but if I ever do, I prefer to not regret my purchase by getting the higher Cores and the better performing chip.
@Ansary587
the only reason i want a pro is for the display
@GeneralBulldog54
Just bought a 15’ M4 Air this year replacing my ‘09 17’ MBP. It’s been night and day and so far I’m loving it. That said, the lack of connection ports is troubling.
@AyaWetts
Love my Macbook Air. I thought about getting a pro just for the better screen, but didn't... The screen in the Air is great really... I even sit it by my Vivobook that has a 120hz OLED screen and its still 99% as good for most use.. maybe 95% when watching movies.... not enough to care about.
