I rarely ever comment, and I don’t think that any of my limited comments have been anything but neutral or positive, however, this review bugs me for the following reason. No one is questioning that a current Macbook Pro generally has more performance than a Macbook Air, however, the review is pretty misleading, if your goal was to education potential buyers on the performance cost associated with selecting the MBA. At the very least, you should have used a 16GB/512GB model, there is a significant performance improvement in the non-benchmark daily use values. I sold my 14” Macbook pro for a 15” Macbook Air (16GB/1TB), and for my day-to-day use, it’s been all around snappier, more comfortable, and with significantly better battery life.

I have air 2023, want the pro for big screen, not for do you think it's worthy?

How can you compare a Pro top of the line to a low end Macbook air? You need to compare macbook pro 16 2021 to 2023 of same class and model.

Not many people are choosing between an m2 baseline and M1 Max, M1 Pro would be more realistic comparison..this is apples to oranges really.
