Was hoping someone could help me make up my mind.
I have both a 2018 MBA and a 2019 MBP TB. Specs are the same in terms: 13", RAM (8GB) and SDD (256GB).
Main difference is obviously the CPU and GPU:
MBA = 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with Two Thunderbolt 3 ports
MBP = 2,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with Four Thunderbolt 3 ports
My main interest here is battery life and longevity of the laptop.
From my non-scientific testing, I have a feeling the MBA has considerable longer battery life.
Also not the biggest fan of the TB and the MBA does feel considerably lighter even though when looking at the numbers the difference is minimal.
Still, the MBP is slightly younger and a more powerful machine.
Which would you pick and why? Thank you!
