The MacBook Pro is also available in 13 inches. This is the only one with the Touch Bar: a digital touchscreen at the top of the keyboard.

The MacBook Air is available in 13 inches and 15 inches. The 13-model easily fits into your bag and only weighs up to 1.29kg. Ideal for on the go and for students.

The MacBook Pro has stronger chips than the MacBook Air. At the moment, these are the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips. These chips don't just offer more storage and RAM, they also have more graphic cores. This allows you to edit demanding videos and complex 3D files. The M3 is similar to the M2 in the MacBook Air, but the M3 is faster and more powerful thanks to the number of graphics cores and 3nm technology.

The MacBook Air has the M2 or M3 chip. The MacBook Pro 13 inches has an M2 chip too, but this starter model has 2 more graphic cores than the MacBook Air. That's why the MacBook Air is less suitable for demanding, graphic editing. You use the MacBook Air mainly for administrative tasks. For example, you can open emails, type reports in Pages, and edit light videos. And you can watch your favorite series as well.
