Pro chips are significantly better in the long run because they have a fan. And that’s ignoring all the benefits u get on the pro for just 150 more

    that is factually wrong. Just because you have fan doesnt make a chip better. I will argue other way instead. Fans bring in more dust and dirt inside the chasis of the laptop and is another potential point of failure. But either way this is not how chips work. You need fans if you are running high cpu based workloads like rendering, editing work etc otherwise the pro chip will go to waste.

    That’s why u get a pro chip if u need a pro chip. And with how apples m series work is very little dust because the fans rarely go unless u have a strong workload. Compared to other laptops at least. But a fan helps performance (if u use it). But this is why most people can get away even with an m1 air cause most people arnt using it hard enough to need a pro chip
