Some models even have an extra nano display. Thanks to this, you can see the screen well in brightly lit rooms and you're less bothered by reflections and light glare. You can choose from the 14 and 16-inch sizes for the MacBook Pro.

The 13-inch model easily fits in your bag and only weighs 1.24kg. You can see more details on the 15-inch model, which is especially useful if you edit photos, for example. With 1.51kg, the 15-inch model still doesn't weigh much.

The MacBook Pro has more powerful chips than the MacBook Air. At the moment, these are the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips. These chips don't just offer more storage and RAM, they also have more graphic cores. This allows you to edit demanding videos and complex 3D files. The M4 is similar to the M3 in the MacBook Air, but the M4 is even faster and more powerful thanks to the number of central cores.

The MacBook Air has the M2 or M3 chip. Both processors are mainly suitable for daily and administrative tasks. You can open emails, write reports in Pages, and edit light videos in iMovie, for example. You can also watch your favorite series and browse the internet, of course. The M3 chip is up to 20% faster than the M2 chip, which saves you time when you render your videos.
