Yeah, if I could wait for 2021 I would. Unfortunately, I’ve sold my MBP and in need of a laptop ASAP. I think I’m going to order the i5/8 to try first and then if it’s not okay. I’ll return and get MBP. However, I think it should be okay. If I can get half the price 2-3 years later, I think I’m okay.

Thank you for Your last 2 posts! I didn’t see your second last post and I think you have a great point! If anything, MBA seems to be great and fitting for my usage. Chrome sucks but I will try it out with i5/16. If it doesn’t work, I will try MBP. However, I think I’ll enjoy my iPad Pro and air combo much more. I just hope IPP can last me a couple of years. Unlike MacBook lineup, iPads refresh at a lighting speed. I just hope I’ll still feel satisfied 5 years to come. My iPad mini started to really slow after 3-4 years and I’m not too sure why.

iPad pro is an absolute joy to use and I almost guarantee that you will use it more than the actual mac.
And I'm fairly certain that a i5/16 MBA will work just fine. The 2020 packs plenty power and the ram is FAST.

Okay. I will try it out then. The promo is here and I can’t wait to try it.
