for generic use browsing, leetcode and IDE for generic programming? any issues with macbook air? wanted to buy macbook air as its currently on sale at bestbuy suggestions or any issues faced?
Air can handle it all. Pro gives you more processors and memory if you do VM stuffs.
Concur. If you want to have docker containers running all the time while your bootcamp partition is loaded in the middle of a Windows only steam game while Chrome demands sustenance then the pro is for you. Otherwise the air is not underpowered at all.
How much is it? I got the latest pro model 13” with 512 GB SSD, quad core i5 and 8 Gb ram for 1400 at Best Buy.
Its 950. For i5 processor, 8 gb and 128 gb ssd
In that case I’d suggest waiting for a sale on the 13” pro. Better specs, better build and the price difference is not that big.
Keyboard is sooo much better on the 16” MacBook. I always just buy them lightly used or often BNIB private sale after gifting holidays (i.e. Christmas) or new releases. Often still eligible for AppleCare, which in my opinion is totally worth it.
Air is more like DoA
Op which did you buy?
