Issue is people over exaggerating the Mac’s life span. MacBooks last an easy decade and that has been the case for years. Most people use them as a browsing tool and for those it will last a life time being honest.

Haven’t seen anyone criticize it personally. Nothing but praise I have scene. I will consider that.

So I went back and forth on this as well. I bought the air for my wife cause she is a teacher. I posted my own thread and most people had buyers remorse with going with the pro. They would have preferred extra screen relastate. So I ended up getting her the 15" and honestly she is not gaming or video editing so she would never need for than the M2 which is already better than most i5 and i7 window laptops. At the end of the day it depends what you want to use it for. If it is going to be for nothing more than web browsing and school work the air works. If it will be heavy lifting than the pro.
