    1600 usd and they don't even give you 1TB. My camera's SD card is now 512GB... Time for Apple to update base spec storage as well! They always give you less than you deserve.

    As Air 15 M3 16gb 256 owner for 2 weeks now I'm very happy with it. Plan on doing web dev on it aswell.
    Average temp. is around 30-35c light use, loooong battery life and very quick.

    No bad options? IMO, any of the MacBook Air base models with 256GB SSD are dubious if not outright bad options for most people. Unless you're a student who can keep your documents in the Cloud, I'd say that the viable options start at $1300 and $1600 for Air and Pro respectively.

      My camera's SD card is now 512GB. 512GB is only offered on the cheap models on windows side, Let alone them daring to ship 2024 models with just 256Gb.... Phones these days have more storage....

    Last year my old Intel 15" MacBook Pro ended up dying (I had it a long time), so I upgraded to the M3 Pro 16 inch MacBook Pro and it is by far an amazing machine and stellar upgrade! I am in college and use an M2 15 inch MacBook Air for that, and both of these machines are so much more powerful than that old Intel MBP. These M4 Macs look amazing too!

    I'm staying with my M1 MBA for now. It's still doing fine for me, though it does have a somewhat annoying dead pixel in the bottom right of the screen (that's been there since shortly after it was new). I spec'ed mine up to 16GB and 500GB of storage when I bought it, and it's still going strong. It could be faster when editing my 42 megapixel RAW images, but it isn't too bad even at that, and given that I'm not a professional who does photo processing/editing all day long, it's perfectly fine for me. I think my next machine will be either the M4 or M5 Macbook Air.

    If you are cautious it's possible to be ok with 256gb storage, but it can be a pain in the ass if you have huge libraries or play big games. I'ts a shame that we also didn't get 512gb with the 16 gb ram.

The extra port, 6 more hrs of battery, the better screen + 1000 nits SDR outside

    Honestly, I feel like either is not a bad choice, but neither is cheap. However, the MacBook Air is still an excellent machine for most people. So, does one need ports? Does one edit videos or photos often? These questions are valid to ask yourself it gets expensive fast with Apple so pick and choose what you want both should last equally as long. The M3 is still very capable and does the added features matter to you for everyday use?

    I'm thinking which MacBook should I buy:
    - MacBook Pro M4 1 TB 32gb ram
    - MacBook Pro M4 pro 1 TB 48 GB ram
    I am a software engineer, so I don't need GPU a lot, performance of base M4 CPU is already very good and I think 32gb would be fine for me, not sure I should spend extra ~500$ for M4 Pro. On the other hand M4 Pro has better memory bandwidth, thunderbolt 5 (which is future proofing), better multi core performance and for the spec I mentioned + 12 GB ram
    What would you suggest?
