3 Reasons to Get MacBook Air M1 vs MacBook Pro M1

If I had to choose between the MacBook Air M1 and the MacBook Pro M1, which one should I get?

Which is better?

I have made up my mind… The MacBook Air M1… here are 3 reasons.

1. Quiet – The MacBook Air does not have a fan built-in. I do a lot of video recording with voice. The MacBook Pro fan will turn on whenever I record video.
2. Cheaper – It’s S$400 less with the same 16GB Ram / 512GB SSD / 8-core M1 configuration. The price of a MacBook Air is S$2099 as of December 2020. The price of the MacBook Pro M1 is S$2449 as of December 2020.
3. Performance – I need a powerful machine for live streaming, live recording, and video editing. I know the MacBook Pro M1 is the more powerful version but is it? Based on this video comparison, it is not.

One more thing. I prefer lightweight. So with no fan and with lightweight, the MacBook Air M1 wins.

PS: My deep inner thoughts… Buy MacBook Pro M1 16GB ram 512GB SSD… Coz only 100g more than Air, battery lasts 2hrs longer but has fan noise… I will look better as an influencer and trainer… I don’t want fan noise, then get MacBook Air M1 2020 512GB.
