Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Man Iโve owned a Pro for going on 10 years and itโs served me well but I have less of a need for so much power at this point in my life. Work provides me with a laptop so that does all the heavy lifting.
Been debating an iPad for sooo long and thinking itโs probably the right move.
TLDR:
Coding is primarily CPU intensive right? As someone who wants an Apple Silicon chip purely for Xcode/coding would the Air be the best bet then?
110 vs 146 seconds doesnโt seem like much of a difference to me (could be totally offbase here).
I currently own a 16 inch 2021 MacBook pro (Intel) (from employer), and a 13 inch MacBook Air M1 (personal).
I can't even articulate how much I love my m1 and how much I can't stand the MacBook pro. The m1 air doesn't have a fancy it's lightning fast, it's beautiful, the screen is perfect (brightness and size imo) and it just feels good to use. The trackpad and keyboard ate amazing. All day battery life too.
The MacBook pro sounds like a jet engine constantly, it's big and bulky, the screen doesn't look as good, it doesn't have a nice feel to the keyboard, and the battery is useless without an outlet near by.
If I'm going to code, I'm going to want to reach for my m1 air every time but my employer requires that I use their MacBook pro when I'm coding for them.
Tldr; M1 MacBook pro may be excellent but the 13 inch air M1 is already perfect and cheap.
Without giving Apple any ideas, Iโd pay ยฃ500 extra for the display alone.
The problem with this comparison is that you also have to consider the chassis. Bigger, smoother, better lit screen, spatial sound, more convenient ports... You're not ONLY paying for more cores.
The pro got better battery life than the air? I thought it would be the other way around.
As usual, their best videos are these comparison videos. Theyโre detailed and covers a lot.
But itโs getting confusing with how many videos theyโre releasing. I think theyโre milking it too much. Just make a comparison first of the base 14โ, M1 Pro 16โ, and the M1 Max.
If M2 Air supports 32GB, I would buy that instead.
