How to choose MacBook M4 pro and air

Mainly front-end development
Consider air with 24G memory and pro with 16G
Because I only buy one computer as the main machine, I often take it out
The tangle is that
I'm afraid the air performance is not enough... the pro feels too heavy...
There are too few air interfaces and occasionally a converter is needed, but the price is also very good
Does not have a fan really make a big difference?
Because 4k monitors are often connected externally, only the minimum size is required and it doesn't matter whether there is a high refresh rate or not.
The previous top-of-the-line 18-year-old pro is still not stuck, but it is very hot and occasionally stuck when rendering 3D models, but there is rarely such a demand.
I hope it can be used stably for at least 5 years after replacement.
Please recommend 🙏

Anonymous99 Jun 6, 2025I go directly to the Pro and carry a bag when I go out. The weight difference is not as big as I thought. After buying the Pro, I concentrate on making money. After buying the Air, I always struggle with whether to buy the Pro or not.

Anonymous906 Jun 6, 2025I don't know if it's Air or Pro, but it's always Air with entry-level configuration. Whenever Air needs to be upgraded, it will always be Pro

Anonymous1788 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous373 I don't know what you're doing on Alien? Can you open Apple's official website to see if air can select 32g? I also choose 32g for pro. For pro, please see if I can choose 32g for the 24 models? If you want to spray this thing, just spray it directly, and don't make up some points that you don't have to set it up.

Anonymous3729 Jun 7, 2025You still have to consider the weight when you take it out often, and air is more recommended. Performance depends on whether you have a task that runs at full load for a long time (more than 5 minutes). If not, air is enough.

Anonymous8171 Jun 7, 2025If you buy it yourself, buy air, if the company buys it, buy pro

Anonymous8172 Jun 7, 2025The air doesn't have a fan, so if you do a little work, you will reduce the frequency of 😓.

Anonymous1788 Jun 7, 2025That must be pro, and the weight will not affect it. On the contrary, the overheating and frequency reduction of the air will torture you. Of course, the crux of the problem is not here, the key is to get a good bag.

Anonymous1788 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous373 is quite stable now. I dare not blatantly spray it, and I start to be weird. I'll take you.

Anonymous5933 Jun 7, 2025Can air + mini or other desktop methods work?

Anonymous373 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous1788 pro 32g I don't know what you mean, mbp has 32g I think you are talking about cpu models such as m4 m4pro, not notebook models. It is recommended to search before arguing. Don't make an error and lead to a lower-level error

Anonymous1788 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous373 "macbook, you need pro to have 32g of memory Then can you search Apple's official website with your eyes and have a look? See if there is a 32gb version of air now? As for the 32gb mbp, you mean the air skinned m4, right? Does the m4 pro/max have 32gb? Why don't you take a closer look? How about moving your win brain? If you don't use this b thing, don't go into this section to feed people every day, and make weird suggestions, just like apple guys won't go to your Android section to feed (that's right, you Android guys come to the apple section every day) Feed and spray people), don't think too much, you have crossed the line.

Anonymous373 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous1788 https://item.jd.com/100155485470.html Sorry, JD.com also wrote 2024MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 (10 +10 cores) 32G 1T I feel you should waste your time on better angles than macbook pro m4 or macbook m4 pro Then, if I use a Mac, do you apologize to me? Finally, you have to suggest to the webmaster whether it is a section. Apple is the global default, and it is not who takes the initiative to click into a specific section

Anonymous373 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous1788 I don't know which brand I am a fan either Every day, you either ask people to add money to the brand, buy a second-hand brand, or buy this brand in installments. You have to have a face to attack for personal attacks

Anonymous1788 Jun 7, 2025@ Anonymous373 I think you are very weird. Do you recommend the landlord not to do it in one step, or buy the m4 version? Can you name something that the m4 version is missing than the m4pro version? Can't say it and recommend it? It's not even a recommendation, it's a praise but a criticism, right? I think it's all funny. Every time someone gives a choice, they say "You should choose win" and choose your win. This is a multiple-choice question that asks you to choose AB, not Win. There are the most Win demons like you. I feel that there should be a certain overlap with Huawei's group. If you don't directly recommend what you like, you have to spray your friends and businessmen and step on their heads to feed them.
