Q: QuestionWhat is the difference in a macbook air, vs a macbook pro?

Asked 4 years ago by macbook.

• A:Answer The MacBook Pro has slightly better battery life, GPU, speakers, and microphone, and screen brightness.. The MacBook Pro also has the Touch Bar, but the Air just has a regular row of function keys. Another pretty big difference is that the MacBook Air has no fans where as the MacBook Pro does have fans.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference? What makes it better then the old one?

Asked 4 years ago by Chrise.

This question was asked about the related product: MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop - Apple M1 chip - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Silver

• A:Answer MacBook Air: Base: 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i3; High-end: 1.2GHz quad-core Core i7 M1 MacBook Air: M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 7-core GPU in the base model, 8-core in high-end, 16-core Neural engine With the Intel-based MacBook Air, Apple shipped the $999 MacBook Air with a dual-core Core i3 Intel CPU that was barely powerful enough for even moderate activity. There was a higher-end quad-core Core i7 model but that was more expensive and had overheating issues. When it comes to performance, the M1 MacBook Air is miles ahead of the Intel-based one. The performance leap is simply gigantic and it is something that one needs to experience themselves to understand just how big it is. Below are some performance improvements that Apple claims the new M1 MacBook Air offers: Export a project for the web with iMovie up to 3x faster. Integrate 3D effects into video in Final Cut Pro up to 5x faster. For the first time, play back and edit multiple streams of full-quality, 4K ProRes video in Final Cut Pro without dropping a frame. Export photos from Lightroom up to twice as fast. Use ML-based features like Smart Conform in Final Cut Pro to intelligently frame a clip up to 4.3x faster. Connectivity and Ports MacBook Air: Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, 2x USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports M1 MacBook Air: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, 2x Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports so make sure you buy only the macbook air with the new M1 chip inside

Asked 4 years ago by erickgtzh.

Q: QuestionThis is a 2020 model so it’s almost 3 yrs old, with windows you most likely need to upgrade due to age, is this still considered a good computer in 2023? Seems weird buying such an older model

Asked 2 years ago by allyrobs.

• A:Answer As far as I can tell it's perfect. You upgrade the iOS so any laptop you have is running on the latest software, no matter the release date. Also just because it was a 2020 model doesn't mean it was created that year. They continue to produce models outside the years, so you're getting a brand new computer with the latest software. What it doesn't have is whatever new thing Apple released after this model. My last Apple lasted 8 years. If you're only doing basic word processing and internet stuff, you don't need to upgrade all the time. If you're doing more than that, then you probably want a Pro model.
