I gave my daughter my 2017 MBP and kept the 2020 MBA for myself. Pretty lateral in perfomance. Touch ID to login is nice on the MBA. Little surprised and disappointed that the 256 SSD in the MBA is quite a bit slower than the 256 SSD in the older 2017 MBP. Per benchmarks at least. Haven't really noticed beach balls or any issues loading apps or files yet, but just in the first few hours of use. Nice machine though.
Definitely a lot more "springy" I'd say compared to the 2017 MBP. The keys never bothered me on the MBP though. Every keyboard I use for my work laptop, this home Mac, desktops....they all have different keyboards and button presses.How do you like the magic keyboard on the MBA vs your old MBP?
