The Magic Keyboard offers a much more traditional, satisfying typing experience on both models. It was also prone to malfunction when dust or debris got under the keycaps, disabling certain keys. The butterfly keyboard has an infamously flat feeling when typing, with little feedback. Both offer the same level of coverage of the P3 color gamut and support for True Tone automatic white-balance adjustments, and both have 500-nit maximum brightness ratings.īoth the Air and the 13-inch Pro are also built around Apple’s Magic Keyboard, a welcome change from the much-maligned "butterfly" keyboard that once graced (or some users will say, plagued) both models in earlier iterations. Its 13.6-inch display measures 2,560 by 1,664 pixels, compared with the smaller 13.3-inch screen of the MacBook Pro. But the MacBook Air, despite being slightly cheaper and smaller than the Pro, actually has a slightly larger screen. MacBook Air Design and Features: Nuances and Knockoutsīoth laptops offer similar all-metal chassis, which are a Mac hallmark. There isn’t a huge performance gap between the Air and the 13-inch Pro, but it’s enough to differentiate the two and, for many professionals, make the higher price worth paying. If you do plan to use your MacBook for work, especially if you're a content creator, you'll want to more strongly consider the MacBook Pro (the 13-incher, but possibly the 14-inch model depending on how big your budget and how advanced your needs). As the entry point into current-generation Apple laptop hardware (and the Apple software ecosystem as well), it’s an attractive device. We’ll get into the components offered in each of the two laptops below, but the long story short with the starting models is this: If you’re not someone who needs a fancier or more powerful laptop for work, and if you want both portability and value, the Air is the way to go. Apple also continues to sell the M1 MacBook Air, with a starting price of $999. There are multiple configurations available for each both have the same $2,499 maximum price when fully kitted out, not including the cost of accessories. The M2 MacBook Air starts at $1,199, while the least-expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro model is only $100 extra. Neither is the price difference, which is negligible when looking at the base models.
