Ah, the age-old debate between MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. With the introduction of the M4 chip to the MacBook Pro, it's caused a bit of a shakeup to buying advice for these models, especially in the middle of Apple's messy MacBook lineup. So, should you buy the MacBook Air? If so, the M3 or M2 model? How about the M1 model -- is that still a good buy? Is the upgrade to the M4 MacBook Pro over the MacBook really worth the extra money? These are all questions I'll answer, hopefully leaving you with a clearer idea of which is the right option for you.
