MacBook Pro 2019 or MacBook Air 2020

[Ojc_123]

I'm a student in eleventh grade right now and I thought of getting a device for school. I asked in another forum if a iPad Pro or a MacBook Air would be the better option and I decided a Macbook would be more useful. Now I came across a few reviews of the MacBook Pro 2019 and MacBook Air 2020, I don't really know which of those two is better, the reviews pointed out that the MacBook Air Keyboard is way better, but I don't think the difference would be that bad, other than that I don't know much about the important differences. Every opinion swell as tips would be useful.

I would get the 2020 AIR for the keyboard alone. What would be your usage on it?

The keyboard is garbage! I had a 2015 MacBook and a 2017 MacBook Pro. Both had keyboard issues. my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 keyboard is great. The butterfly keyboard models are garbage. I sold my 2017 a few weeks ago and didn’t look back.

For school get the MB Air. If you want a Pro get the 2020 13" version. 16" is not the way to go for a student on the move a lot.

Mostly microsoft office/ talking on discord with some friends and listening music, but always via headphone or a music box, so the speakers aren't really important. I thought of playing games but that wouldn't be important at all

Are there any specific reasons why?

So you would also think the MB pro is the better option?
