Which MacBook to choose and for what needs? The MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro?

MacBook Air 2020

Apple MacBook Air (2020)

From $999

The MacBook Air 2020, available in 2 models, features a 13.3-inch Retina display with IPS and TrueTone technologies. Like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has added the Magic Keyboard with an ultra-responsive and discreet scissor mechanism.  

For both versions, Apple has upgraded to the 10th generation Intel Core i3 dual-core 1.1 GHz processor. The basic model is €1,199 and the more advanced one with a quad-core Core i5 is €1,499. 

In addition to incorporating an Intel UHD 617 graphics chip, it has been complemented by the Intel Iris Plus, offering 80% faster graphics performance than its predecessor.

Its storage capacity is no longer 128 GB but 256 GB or 512 GB, configurable with a 2 TB SSD for an additional €750. As for its memory, it is 8 GB LPDDR4X at 3733MHz.

This new MacBook Air is operational for any use. Whether you're watching movies, surfing the web, playing games, or editing videos, you might be amazed at how fast it is.

The MacBook Pro range is available in 2 different screen sizes (13 and 16 inches) but all models are now equipped with a touch bar, replacing the function keys, a True Tone display, a T2 chip and a Magic Keyboard.

For a 13-inch MacBook Pro with an 8th-generation quad-core 1.4GHz processor and 256GB of storage, you'll pay €1,499 for a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and €1,749 for 512GB.

For a 16GB RAM, 2GHz processor, 10th generation chip, you'll pay €2,129. If you want a combination of 1 TB storage, 16 GB RAM, then it will cost you €2,379.

The 16-inch model with 512 GB costs €2,699 and the one with a 1 TB SSD costs €3,199.

If the basic configurations are not enough for you, you can change them and opt, for example, for a 1.4 GHz processor, 16 GB memory and a 2 TB SSD for an additional €1,250. On the 16-inch, it's even possible to expand the storage space to 8 TB for an additional €2,880.

Another difference between 16 and 13 is that the former has 4 Thunderbolt ports and the latter has two of these ports.

The MacBook Pro is perfect for photo editing, and if you work on complex video editing on a daily basis then we suggest the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

If you need large storage capacity and a computer that's fast, then the 16-inch MacBook Pro is for you, too.

The best MacBook for gamers and creative people

If you are a gamer or a creative person (designer, webdesigner, photographer, videographer...) and are looking for a portable work/leisure tool with a MacOS environment, then without hesitation, we recommend the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

You will be given the choice between a Radeon Pro 5300M or 5500M, which is ideal for image and video processing. Online gaming enthusiasts will appreciate its 4GB GDDR6 memory, expandable to 8GB.
