So again, based off what you want most out of your laptop. The m1 Air is still a great machine, although yes it may not be the m1 pro chip. $500 is not that big of a deal to me, but I don’t need the pro to do my basic tasks like research, write papers, presentations, store pics, and watch, stream movies and shows. Even with the m1 pro 14” base only being $500 more, I think I’m going for the Air M1 because it fits my needs and I value the lightweight and great battery life. Im one who believes the peaceful, gentle. Ive been doing this for years without the first problem. This is just what all I’ve gathered from doing research, watching YouTube comparisons., etc. Mac Pro Quad Xeon 2.66GHz 3GB RAM, G4 Quicksilver w/Sonnet 1GHz Encore ST, 1ghz G4 Powerbook 2 I never shut down my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel XeonI just tuck it in and let it sleep all night. I was not sure whether I buy a QuickSilver or a Mirrored Drive Doors model I had reasons to buy a PowerMac QuickSilver, as it was the first New World Mac I ever used. Do you want all the extra specs and newer chip with great performance or do you want a lightweight, ports- lacking, great battery life machine with less performance? Well, I had a few considerations when I was looking for the perfect PowerMac G4: 1. Idk, it’s based off of what you’re going to be using your laptop for. Since they came out with the m1 pro chips, does that mean they will slowly stop supporting m1 chips later on down the road? When you buy a new computer from Apple, you can opt for them to recycle your old computer for free - theyll even pay for shipping it back to them via FedEx. 14” base mbp M1 pro or the Air M1- $500 difference?
