There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

MODERATORS
Audio, screen, and performance are all objectively better than the Air, and the Air is already pretty good.
Any one of those metrics good enough to justify the extra cost? Probably not (especially if you don’t need the horsepower), but taken together it did justify the additional cost for me.
Whats the weight difference qualitatively?
Good question. Answer is, significant.
13” Air: 2.7 lbs.
14” Pro: 3.4 lbs.
15” Air: 3.3 lbs.
16” Pro: 4.7 lbs.
I have the 16”, again, for luxury. The 13” Air is probably the best value overall while being very nice, but the 14” Pro is a nice upgrade while still being very portable.
