hi...i will be an university student in some months and i would buy a macbook for word,exel,netflix,internet...i am between macbook pro 2019 128gb and macbook air 2019 256gb which are in the same country...will 128gb of MBP be enough or i must go to 256gb of MPA? Thank you for your answers
 
I would not get either a 2019 MBA or 2019 MBP.

The 2020 MBA is a significant improvement over the 2019 MBA, especially with the i5, and the 2019 MBP is about to be replaced and a poor buy at the moment.

If you can afford a 2019 MBP you can probably afford a 2020 MacBook Air with the i5 quad core cpu, with 256GB or 512GB.

You don’t say anything about your usage but I would find 128GB too small

yeah the macbook air 2020 could be better choise for me..i did not think about it but now i will search more...my usage is youtube,netflix,word,exel,maybe affinity photoshop some times...
 
I would expect the 2020 quad core i5 MacBook Air is enough, and a whole lot cheaper than the 2019 or 2020 MBP. Use the money saved for more RAM and more storage in the MBA.

Most people buy more power than they need for a variety of reasons.

thank you for your help...but the macbook air 2020 is here in greece only with quad core i3 and not i5
 
There is no quad core i3. The i3 is dual core and the i5 is quad core. See attached from Tech Specs on Apple site.
