Great, let's compare it to the MacBook Air, then. Compared to the 8GB/512GB M2 MacBook Air, at $1399, the M3 MacBook Pro has:
- M3 chip
- Slightly larger display with higher brightness, HDR, and ProMotion support
- SD Card and HDMI ports
For only $200 more!
Sounds like an amazing "Pro" MacBook Air.
- et-al 3y agoThe passively-cooled Air will also hit thermal throttling sooner vs a Pro. (Yes, for most users just browsing the internet and writing documents, this won't an issue.)
- joshstrange 3y agoPorts and display alone make this worth it. I wouldn’t recommend someone get 8GB ram but it’s pretty impressive when you consider it has everything else the other MBPs have (minus 1 port). Also I’m glad they finally discontinued that embarrassment of the last touchbar Mac.
