DON’T DO IT!! M2 iPad Pro vs M2 MacBook Air
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Don’t make the same mistake a lot of potential buyers make. The new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro - both rock the M2 chip. And while there is a lot of overlap in terms of capabilities - there are some very specific reasons why one is better than the other. So let’s talk about the price of both devices, which is more portable, and the display quality. What about the typing experience on the M2 ipad Pro and the M2 MacBook Air - which is better? We’ll compare the camera and speakers, processing power and multitasking. And finally we’ll see how battery life, the ports and wireless connectivity stack up. So which is better? The M2 iPad Pro or the M2 MacBook Air?

iPad Pro running MacOS would be my dream machine. Shame its never going to happen.
11-inch (12.9 if you want something more similar to a 13-inch MBP) M2 4TB OLED with OSX would be a Music Dream Machine. Not sure if you can use E-GPU on iOS but you can on OSX so it would be killer. Not sure if my UAD Apollo | X Twin TB will work, I'm guessing not. I'm surprised someone hasn't hacked it yet. Just upgraded my Gen 1 iPad for a new 11-inch Pro. Looking forward to mobile Xbox and PS Gaming on it. Just need to snatch a Pro Controller for my PS5. Love the Xbox version but wish the Halo version was out when I bought my Gen 2 Xbox Pro Controller.
I'm not upgrading my 2014 13 inch MBP, Apples Quality sucks now. No thanks. I held off because of the Strip Screen but even with it gone now, you get past that Apple are date and it's like walking through a Mine Field.
Who wants macOS on an iPad? The reason I bought one is it’s a mirror version of my phone. Want macOS buy a laptop for the same price
@@MrW96 Just because you don’t want MacOS on an iPad doesn’t mean others feel the same. For me personally iPadOS is basically useless as it doesn’t run desktop apps.
@@DotJus I speak for the majority or ppl
@@MrW96 so I’m not allowed to want the ability to run Blender on iPad?
I watch this entire video and still have no idea what “DON’T DO IT!!!!” if referring to. Don’t do what?
I came looking for this comment 😂 like am I the only one?
use iPad as a laptop
Exactly
A hybrid OS on the ipad that would allow to use MacOS software on it, would make it the perfect device for me.
Money is no problem but the iPad’s Magic Keyboard has no business being by that expensive, and I have one. I’d like to see what about it makes it $350… lol
Agreed, its simply outrageous
At least the price didnt inflate like their other products. 2021 the magic keyboard was also 299 (11”) and 349 (13”).
In my country (NZ), the 11” inflated from 549 NZD to 599 NZD. We got screwed in the beginning anyway coz 299 USD to NZD is 502 (so you’d think it would’ve been 499 NZD but probably import fees or w/e)
1 big difference. If you spill a few drops of water on your keyboard, you will almost always end up with $800 in damage or worse on a MacBook. Not with an iPad because the hardware and software are behind the screen.
I have M1 models of both. I find myself using the iPad way more than the MBA. One thing that is nice on note taking (not using handwriting as mine looks like chicken scratch) is the ability to take photos of the presentation you are attending and embed it right in the note with continuing to take notes. Hard to do that with the MBA
I’ll take the MBA off your hands free of charge
first world problems lmao
@@dwights1024 lol
@@RichardYoungCF send it
MacBook + iPhone
I admit that I use my M2 iPad 12.9 mostly for media consumption and that screen is gorgeous. I also have the magic keyboard which makes it a more versatile device. I also use it with OneNote for note taking during work meetings.
Sounds like a nice setup and a perfect fit for what you need. Thank you for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk is the screen quality on the 12.9 m2 worth trading my m2 15inch MacBook Air for? or should I just stick with the 15 inch air?
stick with the air if you need something for work or school. ipad is more limited in that area but is superior for entertainment and art.@@Johnmims65
How do the Microsoft office apps run on the Ipad?
@@synced5443fairly well. I think no one would run in any problems, sometimes I miss the shortcuts but you’ll get over it.
It would be cool to see you do a review on the iPad Pro with a Google sheets and being able to use the tools on the iPad versus the MacBook!
I use both macbook air and ipad pro m2 but I eventually shifted to my ipad just because how easy it fits in with my day to day work and other tasks.
Good comparison video for many of us who want to make this decision.
You didn't really mention file handling. Moving and copying files on/to/from an iPad is more difficult and less reliable than on a MacBook Air.
Thank you for the feedback. I referred to that as file management and mentioned that the MacBook is much. Maybe I’ll rephrase it in future comparisons.
@@TechGearTalk Sure. I guess I had hoped for more detail. The iPad is so awkward with files. Because you can't see a directory tree, I often lose track of where files are!
@@impulsesystems yes!!! for a lot of folks thats a big big deal, not to be overlooked! I mistakenly deleted some very important files and photos as i relied on the ipad pro! file management is confusing and awkward on that machine, but so much better on the macbook! I love M2 Macbook Air!!
In Europe, at least in Italy where I live, the M2 macbook air base model starts at €1529 ($1637) on the Apple store! I managed to pick up the 512gb model with a 20% discount but still, the price hike in the EU is absurd. I know many people who are turning away from Apple products in Europe because the pricing has just got ridiculous.
Quality bro is all about quality iPads iPhones and MacBook last for ever
@@lapatabelluda2240not pretty sure about “forever” but it is true that it will last you a pretty long time.
I have a 12.9 inch iPad m2 and a m2 MacBook Air and now I only use my ipad lol for work, for social media, editing. It’s perfect and for me way better than a MacBook. The cellular ipad is superior! With a Logitech mouse and keyboard! A dream!
agree
I will say, if you’re using an external monitor most of the time, you may not care about the refresh rate of the 13’ M2 MacBook Air. It will be able to put out a higher refresh rate on an external display.
how many hz can it output to an external monitor
So which one is better?
The prices in Portugal are ridiculous!
M2 iPad Pro 12''9 128 GB: 1479€
M2 Macbook Air base model: 1 529€
If you take into account how badly people are paid in this country you will be terrified. PS: I know it is not the worst-case scenario, but in the European scenario I believe it is one of the worst, as the average salary is 1378€.
iPad on MacOS would be the perfect middle ground between home desktop setup and iPhone
Great analysis. Thorough and enjoyable. I have an M2 MacBook Air and old Gen 2 iPad, wanting to upgrade to iPad Pro 11". I use the iPad when travelling for RUclips, Netflix, movies, journal articles and reading, but am hearing impaired-not many reviews consider the challenges of accessibility.
Thank you for the kind words and the input about accessibility! I appreciate you being part of the channel!
Is 128gb enough or 256gb
I have Bluetooth hearing aids that sync with my iPad Pro. The y work great. I also have the Pro AirPods but prefer the hearing aids as the battery life and fit are much better.
M2 iPad Pro is better
I’m currently using an older iPad Air and experimenting with it being my daily driver and see how long I last without touching my MacBook Pro 15inch 2018. The great thing about the M chip iPads is stage manager, which I rolled my eyes at at first, but it’s come a long way and with iPadOS 17 you basically can move multiple windows around at once on your display freely, currently you can only have 4 on the display at once but you can have multiple stages kinda like Mission Control on the Mac, but I reckon that will increase pretty soon.
So far the iPad has been great, you can still get from A to B it’s just done a bit differently and once you adjust to it, it’s actually a really great piece of tech.
stage manager is now available for most current devices. anything that runs os 14

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the M2 iPad Pro and the M2 MacBook Air was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
In Brazil the iPad 12,9 base model without Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard costs R$13.299(US$4.242,38), apple products are very expensive here.
GODDAMN BRO WHAT
In my case, the iPad is simply not suited to my workflow, as there are no reference managers like Mendeley for MS Office (really limited on iPad) and there are no data analysis suites or experiment design suites either (think of SPSS, ePrime, PsychoPy). I prefer the iPad for note taking and maybe light document editing, but anything more complex is simply adding more steps to complete it, which, in the end, is taking more time. This all comes to iPadOS closed nature, if there was a way to make it compatible with MacOS apps this would be solved, as the potential and power is there.
Hi...can u recommend ipad or MacBook which is suitable for coding and office work ? I m confused in decision making.
@@muhammedfayis62 I don´t think you can code properly with an iPad (no XCode, but i think Python is now possible), so your only option is a Macbook. Office work (as MS Office) can be used on both, but iPad version is more limited compared to MacOS version. It depends on your budget, but for coding i would recommend any 16gb RAM Macbook with a M chip.
I'm lucky enough to have the M2 MBA (8GB/512GB) and the 12.9" iPad Pro M1 5G.
I bought the MBA to replace my iPad Pro, but despite having both of them to hand, when I need a mobile device, its the iPad Pro I pick up every time. Despite the frustrations of iPadOS. For file management on the iPad, I find File Browser incredibly useful, and I have a TS3+ TB3 dock that I can use with both of them.
I honestly thought I would use the MBA more than the iPP but that hasnt proved to be the case, somehow the iPP seems more robust in the Masgic Keyboard when chucked in my backpack.
Is 128gb enough or 256gb
@@iam_naveenjd7499 depends on your needs, mine has 512GB but with ipados17 and the way it has become a viable laptop replacement, then 256Gb or bigger makes more sense. I’m currently using 377GB of mine but I have 147000 photo (optimise storage is on with 2TB of icloud)
You can prevent an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard from tilting over when using on a lap or bed by just putting the screen down to touching the base - so like a MacBook screen. It is quite stable. I have a 14 inch MacBook Pro and M2 12.9 inch iPad Pro and to me I use the iPad for most things because of the pencil for notes. I also switch the iPad to portrait for video calls.
I was the same. Got the m1 when it came until last week and decided to get iPad Pro 11inch m2 and have had a blast. Plus all the apps you can play with controller and move around with it much easier.
What apps you can use with controller?
@@Pameliux23 most of them. Dead cells is my favorite. Gunfire reborn. Huntdown. Oddmar
Love from BANGLADESH, macbook cost 1400-1600 cuz itz rare ipad pro is for 1200-1300
For me the cost of iPad Pro + Apple pencil + Magic Keyboard is more expensive than MBA :) though I own both iPP 11" and MBA, I kind of like to use iPP more, esp learning Davinci recently there which makes iPad more productive. i'm just now considering if I should sell my 11" and go for 12.9" or wait for next iPad upgrade ..
watching now in late september with the release of Sonoma, the macbook blows the ipad out of the water
iPad Pro is better for media consumption, MacBook Air is better for work.
I have both, I use my iPad as a dual screen setup at work. It becomes a perfect portable work station.
Unless you use Apple Pencil, a tablet OS can not beat a full fledged OS with 15+ battery life.
Also, MBA is surprisingly more portable.
I use a 16gb/1TB MBA, and have a
8gb/512gb iPad Pro.
People who get and IPad Pro want and IPad Pro not a MacBook, Most people I know including myself use it for drawing and taking notes, tech reviewers don’t get that
_Exactly._
Attempting a direct comparison of iPad and MacBook is kinda meaningless.
The 12.9 iPad Pro and M2 MacBook Air actually start at the same price in Australia, $1899 AUD ($1315 USD)
Regarding your questions re price, in France, as in UK, they use the dollar price but switch the currency…..this has been standard since the dawn of time. So, a 1200 USD phone youd pay 1200€ which amounts to an increase of 35-50% depending on conversion. There will always be an increase of 30% for txes. Ditto Italy and UK, whereas UK may be adjusting post-Brexit but count at least 20% increase. Also the trade-ins are insultingly less than US. We are morally obliged to sell and go to all the trouble via reputable resale or reconditioning sites to get a fair resale price, which we then pay for the service……
In India 🇮🇳 Both M2 MacBook Air Base Model And M2 iPad Price As The Same Only 50$ Or Something Different…
No for the 11 inch is 79,000 and combined with Magic Keyboard it is 1,09,000 So with the keyboard there is only a 10 dollar difference plus Laptop replacement can be with 11 inch too
Well should I buy the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard over an MacBook Air m2 Ido not do video or photo editing
The M2 MacBook Air has a 13.6 inch display
One of the biggest reason i switched from a 6th gen ipad to a 2017 macbook pro and that is working with linux terminal and i use it for worktasks on the go like finanse and writing and a laptop is more versatile for me for light work because all the heavy tasks i use my desktop
I did the exact same as you. Started on an iPad 2, then an iPad 6 which I still love and now a 2018~ MacBook Pro
i live in greece. The m2 iPad Pro 12.9 inch Base model costs 1559 euros and the base model m2 MacBook Air costs 1599 euros. The high end iPad Pro with 2TB ssd and 12.9 inch and with 5G costs 3219 euros! This is hilarious!
Why apple is so boring
He's like an Apple Specialist. The only difference is you don't have to drive to a store. It's right there available with just one click.
Here in Brazil a Macbook is around R$ 8.299... Minimum wage is R$1.378.
I hate this country
macos is actually not a pluspoint for me. i dont use my personal device much for work. I prefer the ipados apps.with the exeption being Microsoft Office. i prefer to use my ipad in portarait mode for reading magazines and pdf books - not that great on an a permanant landscape of the mac. I love the fact that i can just remove the keyboard if used with ipad.
I am a Day trader my work is basically on web browser 8 to 10 Tabs open at the same time and an external display can I go for the iPad?
Hey, what do you recommend for trading - ipad or macbook ?

Apple uses the term “Pro” liberally when it comes to this device lol. Im sorry but to say it’s a Pro device but doesn’t offer full office or apple suite in 2024 is insane to me. I think these devices are amazing looking but the software ruins the experience. The Air line remains a bargain but oled and 120hz display just isn’t enough for the ask.
I have a question. I am looking for IPad that supports Netflix HDR and Dolby Vision. Can you help recommend?
As much as I love my MacBook Pro, Apple Music works way better in IOS. I keep hoping that Apple will update the macOS to fix this. The big difference is that iOS has bit perfect playback and macOS doesn’t. This will only matter to a small number of Mac users but i am one of them 😊
I liked the old iTunes far better than this mess they have now.
@@driven01old iTunes is a nightmare
Today's day 1 with MacBook (m2, 2022) and I hate it! So many things avail on iPad that just aren't cuz Timmy won't allow it. I want to stream some stuff from Discovery+ and Netflix, Disney, etc., maybe a lesson plan, recipes, and writing. No Google, Amazon, etc., etc., to ♾️♾️avail on Mac. And did I mention that Outlook email is garbage/more likely to be compromised. Oh yeah Slow Safari and Apple Crap Map App is pretty useless. Most native Apple apps aren't very good. I think they were thrown together with little thought. Mac doesn't want to talk to my Epson printer. (Sadly my iPad Air was stolen and oddly or not has never resurfaced.) Thankfully no more spreadsheets! Want touch screen on Mac. Thanks/Take care
In South Africa the iPad Pro M2 (12.9) is around 1 336.84 USD and the Macbook Air M2 is around 1 273.18 USD
M2 macbook air in Germany 1499€ in base configuration
Here another idea. Mac mini & IPad mini vs MacBook Pro. What wins?
Prices for apple products in Trinidad and Tobago (Caribbean) are always high, and you rarely get the latest model at retailers (except for phones). The easiest and cheapest way for us to get them is to just order them from apple or amazon and have it shipped to us here. The shipping cost is not exorbitant and there are no import taxes on commuting devices at the moment. I am currently using the iPad Pro M1, and I have no current need for the MBA, probably as I prefer using windows for my laptops.
iPad has the mini led display, better camera, lidar sensor, apple pencil, pro motion and a touch screen so you can use it without the keyboard . Overall a better product
@duelibop probably not if you just do spreadsheets
Would really love to hear your rundown and opinions on the newly announced M2/ M2 Pro chip/ Max chip Macbook Pros, Mac Minis etc. Are they worth the price and worth getting now?
The conclusion on M2 (Pro) devices.... Not really, unless you desperately want Wifi6E over regular Wifi6
Since my internet speed is "only" 500MBit im still happy with Wifi6 on the 16" M1 Pro base model, the bigger issue is SSD size
I would rather buy an upgraded M1 Pro with 1TB SSD+ over a M2 Pro base model with 512GB SSD, but thats just my opinion.
In fact the M2 chips are slightly redesigned/optimized m1 chips, the M2 upgrade was not as spectacular, in general you can say (in the best case...) 20% more performance and 10% more efficiency. With a few exclusions ofc.... for example a regular M1 vs regular M2 is a bigger difference in video rendering etc since the basic M1 miss the media engine (aka dedicated de/encoders...)
Thank you for making up my mind ❤ Will get the macbook instead of ipad pro ✨
AWESOME COMPARISON.. SAVED ME $2,000 FOR NE IPAD PRO.. STICKING WITH MY MACBOOK AIR
Phone tethering is perfect. You don't need an LTE tablet if you would have used a laptop.
One thing on the iPad Pro I’ve heard people doing is to use CIXTRIX or logmein to access work apps and shadow the work setup, then use multi screen. It skips the issue of limited file management and apps. I will try that as an option.
They both use M2, they will both last the same amount of time, just one won't use as much RAM
Im from italy and here they 12.9 inch ipad pro starts at 1469€ and the 11 inch at 1099€
In the UK both MacBook Air and iPad Pro 12.9 cost exactly the same at £1,249. That’s around $1,550. Though that does include sales tax, it’s still a lot more expensive than buying in the US.
Macbook air M2 screen is 13.6 inch
Ireland: (European prices include tax)
Apple MBA M2 (8c cpu 8c GP 16c NE),8GB UR & 512GB HD @ €1759 or $1911 inc tax
iPad Pro 12.9 512gb Wi-Fi only €1859, pencil 2 €149, Magic Keyboard €429 (total €2437 or $2468 inc tax)
I was trying to compare similar specs and I think most will get the 512gb mba
I live in ireland. The first time I heard the prices in the states I was shocked 😂. I thought maybe that was without tax or something because VAT is included in ireland but then I found out that VAT was included, anyway the prices here are:
Ipad pro 12.9: €1,479
Macbook air: €1,529
Same prices as in Spain. Riddiculous
$750 at Costco for MacBook Air!
Wow. Amazing deal.
I have an iPad Air 5 with a Logi keyboard and it's great, but ultimately iPadOS holds it back from being a true laptop replacement. Citrix Workspace can only open one application at a time, unless I am doing something way wrong.

1089€ for the 11 pro and 1349€ for the mac book air in italy😢
UK - I sold my 2018 12.9" iPad Pro and got the M2 MacBook Air 512Gb SSD version. No contest. The Mac is far better for my uses. Larger screen and I can now do basic things on Excel that I couldn't do with it on the iPad 'supposedly' Pro. The refresh rate makes no difference to me. I still use an iPhone 12 Pro Max so the 120 Hz vs 60Hz is BS for my uses. Do I miss the iPad Pro? Yes I do. Touchscreen and Apple Pencil is very useful. But the overall feel of it on my knee is not as good as the Mac. Overall I do everything on my lap so the Mac is far better and the fact I don't touch the screen means it stays cleaner for far longer. On the iPad, if they want to call something 'Pro' then it needs to be able to do basic Excel things that it just cannot do. I also had the 2018 version and the battery was hammered too.
512Gb Mac was £1,549 and if I wanted the M2 iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard, etc £1,978 so there was no way I was buying yet another keyboard for that. The Mac is overpriced but the iPad Pro, absolutely mental.
Had iPad Pro 12.9 M1, not pro for anything beyond creativity. :( stage manager is crap, any office tool is crap, no anything that can unlock the potential of M1 for anyone who’s Pro in the tech field. Gave it to another person who’s creative and could benefit from that. Will be getting iPad Air just for tablet use case, as a second smaller display on the go or occasional stuff that shouldn’t be done on a company device :)
The reason you are charging it more is _only because_ you use it so much.
The problem I have is I need a laptop for that 10% of stuff. To me I feel like I am wasting $$$ purchasing both.
Most people would be wasting money if they purchased both especially when Apple seemingly wants people to use their iPads as a Mac accessory rather than its own platform that can be independent from a Mac if necessary. We are 13 years removed from the first iPad. Apple still had yet to release any of its pro Apps for iPad. Now that both iPadOS and macOS are on the same chips, what excuse do they have for not making them available? I had an iPad recently and it ended up being a $1000 web browser because that was the only reason I found it useful.
By design, my iPads pro 12.9 has gobbled up my other tech tools such as my tablet, cellphone (I use voip) and even my desktop (I remote into a full desktop pc for increasingly less tasks). I REALLY want HDMI in. Not HDMI out for my iPad Pro. I want to use my iPad Pro monitor as my only monitor and connect my Xbox to it.
I know whatever solution I find will be “hacky”. Please do a video showing HDMI in for the iPad. Thanks!
Owned a MBA M1, an IPad Air 4 and an IPhone 12 in 2021. After started using Ipad with the Magic Keyboard for around three months with the ongoing upgrade Ipad OS, which so useful, I decided to sell the MBA and IPad Air, bought an IPad Pro 12,9 and a Mac Mini M1. Now I nearly forget the MBA and live, work, entertain cant be better ever with the IPad Pro and Mini. Ces’t la Vie!😍😃😉
I will do the same if not for Alfred on the mac which makes everything fast!
The iPad has the same processor and will also last 7+ years.
I have a question that perhaps some of you could answer:
Is it okay to charge my macbook using a socket adaptor?
I'm intending to buy my macbook in England, but live in Europe, so I'd charge it using a socket adaptor all the time. But is it okay?
If it's not, I would have to buy a new charger.
Thanks for anyone who can help 🙆
It should be fine.
I am also shocked....In Germany the 12.9" iPad Pro M2 starts at whopping 1449 Euros. The Macbook Air M2 at 1299 Euros. I would consider this as unfair

@@TechGearTalk oh man thats like 50% more here. Ill buy a ticket to US to get one
Which one is better bro in March 2023
Hear me out. They’re both the wrong answer. Get a windows laptop with a touchscreen, equally powerful processor, double the ram, more powerful graphics software, and pen for 2/3 the price. Plus you don’t have to deal with the horrible workflow of macos, or how it limits allowed apps, or how it straight up doesn’t run games correctly.
I love your vids tho lol I just love dissing on macs and ipads
Which windows laptop would be similar to having the combo (ipp and mabook air). Honeste question
I had both the Macbook Air M1 and iPad Pro M1 and used the ipad much more than the laptop, maybe 90% of the times.
It does everything so well unless i need more advanced stuff other than that the iPad is a perfect media device, i just love it! It’s also much more portable so i can carry it easily everywhere around the house.
Exatly
Isnt the MacBook Air more portable? And on lap feels more steady?
Is 128gb enough or 256gb
Hey great video. From where did you get the Wallpaper of your Macbook Air? It is awesome! ❤
It has no fan to cool it down and when you video edit and have a few things open it just overheats . Definitely not worth a mention of video editing in the same sentence as this Mac air

It depends very much what you do. But it is harder to utilize a faster SoC on iOS because it is just locked down and slightly worse for desktop uses, on purpose. You will probably fine with an older model. If you want extended display stage manager (fullscreen), they are adding that to the older models
I am from El Salvador and one year later price of the Macbook air 13 inch with 256gb, 8gb of RAM is $1419... and the iPad pro 12.9 inch with 128gb of storage is $1459.
If you plan to upgrade the base M2 MacBook Air, than go with base M1 14inch MacBook Pro as its cheaper….Especially now with those discounts on M1 Lineup
Why so?
@@ovaismalik2940 because a base model M1 14 inch with 16GB Memory and 512GB SSD...cost less than same spec M2 Air ;)
I recently went 11" iPad Pro instead of a Mac. iPadOS is a SAD clown.... holy cow. I didn't know iPadOS was this bad.... do not buy an iPad unless you Draw or sketch or have a very specific need for Apple pencil. if you don't NEED apple pencil, Buy a MAC......
I am calling it now. These devices will merge in the coming years. If Apple can make a more robust keyboard, ideally with a battery built in, and can converge some of the software there is no reason for the MacBook to exist. Rename the iMac to Mac and rename the MacBook and iPad to iMac.
My considerations for a device like this go:
Can I draw on it and does it have a touch screen? If no, then f*ck it.
Can it run full desktop apps like Photoshop? If no, then f*ck it.
So in the end, both of them are basically useless :D. Now, if they just brought full MacOs to the Ipad Pro, on the other hand, I'd buy one immediately.

You get the lowest model of the Macbook by working for 4-5 months without eating or drinking. This is a very sad situation. (turkey)
Hello, I need help choosing a MacBook laptop. I work in graphic design and I’m looking for the ultimate beast for my job. Since MacBook prices are much higher here in Serbia compared to America, it’s harder for me to choose the right laptop that I’ll use for many years. Prices range from $1700 to $2500 and more converted to dollars. I’m considering both the MacBook Air and Pro versions. Due to the nature of my work, a more compact laptop with a smaller 13-14 inch display would be preferable. . I wouldI would appreciate your assistance in selecting a laptop. Warm regards from Serbia.

Overkill I know .I bought the Ipad pro for work. And the Macbook Air will stay home.
I bought the iPad Pro to replace my laptop and it’s been the biggest waste of money ever. Totally useless unless you’re an artist or RUclips addict.
