A tough decision between midnight laptops
Choosing which machine to choose between MacBook Pro (2020) or MacBook Air (2020) is difficult. Usually, the specified table helps us to see which gear gets the most from the table, in proportion to its price. With this 13-inch MacBook Pro
The MacBook Pro puts a better screen with the P3 color gamut and the brightest 100 nits on the table. A factor to consider in the face of work in bright spots and where color accuracy is required. Another addition is the Touch Bar, which likes to use quick functions and shortcuts that are often hidden in apps.
Depending on the processor and graphics card included, they are both more powerful than those found on the MacBook Air. Of course, we have to look at what the two teams have chips from different Intel families from different generations. So, the MacBook Pro is a very powerful U series, but it's the eighth generation, and the MacBook Air is the most powerful Y (older M) series but the tenth generation.
In addition to power, we have to look at the type of RAM memory supported. While the eighth-generation processors on the MacBook Pro installation have 2,133 MHz LPDDR3 memory, the tenth-generation processors on the MacBook Air site with 3,733 MHz LPDDR4X memory. This is something that can be solved according to the top 10 generation processors on the MacBook Pro. This model starts at 2,129 euros, which includes 16GB of LPDDR4X memory and 512GB of storage.
This MacBook Pro restores the keyboard to the scissor machine, adds ESC key and T-shaped arrows. In addition, the storage floor doubles to 256GB
In the end, the MacBook Pro is a "lightweight" weight and one-hour autonomy. In the end, it provides more energy, very good screen and the addition of the Touch Bar at a higher price. At that price point, the user looking for a suitable computer might be satisfied with a MacBook Air with an Intel Core i5 or i7.
However, the most interesting thing about the MacBook Pro is its tenth-generation plans, its RAM (expanded to 32GB), the number of ports and much storage. Although we enter a high-tech startup that accidentally starts repeating the MacBook Air. No wonder this is a price list made for another user. Many users may be waiting for the 14-inch model to follow after last year's 16-inch MacBook Pro. But everything shows that we will have to wait a little longer.
