The Pro is about $350 more.

For those who have used both, is the Pro worth the extra cost?

What differences did you actually notice in day-to-day use?

i have an air and it's great for normie shit. are you making audio/visual stuff? downloading massive files? if not, hard to justify the pro. i'd rather have the extra inch on the air than performance stuff i'm not going to notice.

Which Air do you have?

The main reason I’m considering the Pro is the fan. My current Air gets ridiculously hot. I usually have a ton of stuff open: Microsoft 365, spreadsheets, video calls, Chrome with 20+ tabs, etc.

my son has the air and i have a pro

i feel like the extra $ are worth it, but its probably marginal for an average user
