Hello!

I’m about to get an M1 MacBook. I’ve got the choice between a $€£ 650 M1 Air and a $€£ 750 M1 Pro. My research concluded: they’re the same but the Pro has a little bit more beef when it comes to exporting videos.

So far I’m thinking to get the Pro, because I might need 2 external monitors someday, but I make this post because I think that people here have been using the devices for longer than reviewers.

What’s your opinion to those devices?

Edit:

Okay, they’re about the same, so I’d‘ve gone for the MacBook Air M1. BUT: since I scoured the internet ever since I’ve found a MacBook Air M1 with 16 GB of RAM for 800. And Papa knows that this is more good.

    I have an M1 Macbook air and use an M1 Pro MacBook Pro for work. For everyday usage I can’t tell a difference in performance. I don’t use them for any video editing or encoding so can’t comment on that. There has been a decrease in performance after upgrading to Sonoma though

    The air has genuinely impressed me. The amount of performance you get from a passively cooled, low power device is crazy
