I am in between purchasing either a used MacBook Pro 14' M1 Pro 16gb/512 ssd (94% battery health) or a new MacBook Air M4 2025 16gb/256 ssd for the same price, around 750€ (800 US$).

Which one would you buy and why? Thanks
 
It just depends on what you plan to do with it, for example, are you going to be doing things that require more power (i.e., Photoshop or other graphics-intensive programs. If so, you know your answer.
 

From this site, it seems as if the m4 will be faster on most everything except gaming.

Do note that the pro will have better speakers and screen. Personally, I would do the m4 with the thought of longer OS updates.
