To me, the 150$ is well worth the 120hz display, extra battery life, and active cooling fans (if you push it hard enough to activate them). Also, the option for dual monitors is cool, and you have an hdmi port on the Pro. They also have better resale value (at least here in Canada).
Edit*: you also have more GPU cores, which is nice for any video editing, modelling or gaming, if you plan on dabbling there at all.
also muuuch better speakers, and the screen is a Mini-LED. Unless OP absolutely needs the portability of the air (which at 15" isn't that much compared to the 14" pro), it would be absolutely insane to not go for the pro.
15" air is way better portability wise. Try holding and carrying both 14" MBP and 15" air in your hands in Apple store and you will see.
The screen is actually debatable. 15” vs 14”. MBP has Mini-LED but MBA screen doesn’t have PWM which is more eyes-friendly for people with sensitive eyes & long term usages.
M2 pro 14" doesnt have extra battery life. Web browsing life is way better on the 15" macbook air for example. (3 hours more)
I thought M2 15 battery life is better than MBP 14. To OP: it comes down to whether you need fan (due to very heavy load), also how much benefit of better screen, better speaker in MBP and lighter weight in MBA for your typical usage.
correct. Some people just assume pro means everything is magically better. I guess marketing works well here .....
Hi mate, I agree with you except the battery life. The battery drains a little faster on the m2pro(it still has incredibly battery performance though)
That 720pm shitty camera that the Pro has made me switch to M2 Air
If you play literally any game ever get the pro lol my fans are ALWAYS on playing wow unless I turn the graphics all the way down.
