the 13" pro and air are basically the same machine :-/ I'm pretty sure they're keeping that pro because it's a physical drop in replacement for previous models, just for business that want that continuity. That 8gb though. I had to switch to one when my last macbook died. I could develop on it fine, but chrome and teams killed me. Especially teams where it's just now getting a native release. There's no reason a lot of apps are using as much memory as they do. 8gb _should_ be more than fine for any office worker. I'm growing on the idea that developers shouldn't be getting massive amounts of memory in their machines, so they can feel any pain their users will.
