Unfortunately, It’s not in my current lineup of videos i am working on, and not sure I can fit it into the budget. So chances are slim, but I won’t rule it out completely if things change.
It’d be worth it. So far every reviewer has been treating the two-thunderbolt MBP as a much better value (which it definitely seems to be) than the four-port one with extremely similar performance. But my hunch is that the higher-end model probably provides better all around “quality of life” with much better speakers, two fans, and more ventilation. I imagine that it runs way cooler, and maybe quieter since you don’t need to spin one fan really hard to cool the whole machine. At the low end, if you’re comparing $1299 vs $1799, it’s not worth it, but once you start adding BTO options like more storage and ram it becomes like a $200 difference. $1999 vs $2199 is much more palatable for slightly more power, double the ports, etc with the added internal upgrades when you’ve already upgraded the ram and storage.
Great comparison and review as always, Greg. You helped me to choose the Air. I do value battery life, operating temperatures and noise over performances, which could matter for who only owns one machine as main computer. I personally prefer to run heavier tasks on the bigger screen of my iMac 5k. It could have been interesting to see the thermal scan of both machines (maybe you can get a small thermocamera for next reviews :D). I come from an older MacBook Pro and feeling the heat from the keyboard is very unpleasant. Controlling Photoshop brush size via Touchbar could be handy but beside that I wouldn't have much use of it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Greg.. gosh this is really good review! Do keep them coming and do learn alot from you too! This makes alot of sense for comparing these two...
Interesting video. So from my prospective: Pro won on benchmarks - basically numbers which count in case of video editing or gaming. Things you do on a desktop (in my case anyway) or with a laptop convenient docking capabilities. On the other hand Air is much more like a laptop for everyday use: better battery (almost 2x times more), no cooling issues (won't burn my legs), stable performance (on it's level). My winner is definitely the Air.
Yeah. While I think the Pro deserves the win, as it can act as both a lightweight laptop and a “pro” machine, the MacBook air is still the better computer for the people that don’t need that power.
GregsGadgets Little Tip Don’t and I mean DO NOT PLEASE Put Your iPhone on The Macbook Pro close to the Touch Bar. During Use the Touch Bar and The Top got to 97degrees Celsius. That heat can Clearly Burn any Material :)
i have 2019 model MacBook Air, I use Ableton Live and Logic Pro a lot and they both go just fine with the air. so the MacBook Air is a great option even for who produce, obviously the Pro is the best option, but you can pick the air just fine.
Great review, but should have highlighted the price factor two computers with the same price range should have been compared if so 128GB macbook pro would loose a point against 258GB mac book air for the storage capacity category, in fact you did not compare that, secondly is the RAM same on identical price categories ?
One thing to add : max speed of macbook air's fan - 8000 rpm while that of macbook pro is 7200 rpm. Its just that its takes time for macbook air's fan to kick in and its very rare for it to reach 8000 rpm but it does, I've tested it.
In my opinion, the cooling system for both models were designed for different reasons and purposes. Air is meant to be carry around or sit on top of user’s lap. That’s why the sound and heat coming out to the body of the mac is pretty much lower. While, Pro is used for more Pro’s stuff like editing or running more hardcore softwares in order to get better performance than daily life use. So, it comes to the answer that cooling system is working harder to keep the hardware inside cool. Plus, it tends to get warmer while rendering videos or photos, but that’s when user leave the hardware do the work. It will sound weird to put Pro on top of their laps while rendering videos, or maybe I’m wrong.
The weight and size advantages of Air aren't that significant, while the entry-level pro has a huge performance advantage. It is so hard to choose Air. I really hope Air can somehow as small and light as the 12-inch and keep current performance.
For a senior in highschool, I’m I gonna need more than 128 gb for the MacBook Pro ? I’m mostly gonna use it for school, streaming shows, web browsing and video editing.
Just brought the MacBook Air for everyday use as an addition to my MacBook Pro with I use for more substantial tasks which, to be honest, is infrequent. Nice to know I have the best of both worlds
olivia lane True! I bought one the other day and they actually cost 1,200+ something including tax. Plus free 3mos. iTunes subscription and internet security for 6mos.
About heat part. MacBook Air doesn't have connection between fan and processor heat case so it simply cannot give up the heat while MacBook Pro does have normal cooling system and giving a heat to a metal case that is why pro hotter. MacBook Air has a lot of problems with heat which possible might kill processor in time.
The only thing that makes the MacBook Air appealing to me is the design, it makes it a bit more comfortable to rest your palm and type. But overall, I prefer the MacBook Pro cause It has a much better performance for it's price.
1.4ghz MacBook Pro 2019 Is Surely The MVP Here The Thermal Throttle stays at 2.70ghz it Does Get Hot BUT Who Does Love Awesome Performance!! :) Great Video And I Agree About Everything but Not the design. The Issue I had With The Air is How its Built. Yes Its Slim But The Placement to the down curve of the keyboard feels weird I love My Keyboard Straight and Not From Up to Down.
Thank you 🙏 Ah that’s a good point, but It doesn’t really bother me. I like how easy it is to scoop up the air one handed because of the weight distribution being less at the front.
Phylord Basilio True, but I got the air because I value battery life, and thats something hard to come by in a laptop, plus these nee key boards and usb type c ports malfunction and wear out quicker then older MacBooks, so I only plan on keeping this laptop for 5-7 years before upgrading again
Had the Air, swapped it for the 13" pro. Getting a lot more machine and much better display for $200+ Both machines are solid and awesome laptops... win-win situation. Also, I replaced my desktop with the laptop and run and external monitor, so definitely needed the extra pep the pro puts out.
athletejmv i ordered 899 macbook air 2019 base model in best buy sale.. now i m having thoughts to switch it up for macbook pro base 2019.. but its 1299.. what do u say ?
I still don’t know which to get🥺 I’ve had my MacBook Pro since 2013 and I’m needed an upgrade since I start college ... I won’t be doing heavy work on it ... however I do use my computer everyday ... should I get the pro since it’s what I’m used to?
E E I’d recommend to just put an SSD in it if you’re not a power user. That will speed it up quite a bit and make your 2013 MBP feel like it’s new again.
Guys get Macbook Air if you’re a high school student or a college student in IT department, trust me it’s a better choice. Also you get the gold color xD
How is design not subjective but the obviously more advanced touch bar is? I like physical keys myself but even so, that doesnt make a ton of sense score wise.
TL;DR: The MacBook Air makes no sense. Same footprint as the MBP, negligible weight difference. Half the power. They should've kept the 12" MacBook around, which had a clear differentiation-mobility first, all else last and fanless design. It also should have been named Air from the get-go and have a 13,3" companion with the same fanless design, not a downgraded Pro.
@@NDakota79 I had a feeling this was gonna come up. Honestly, I don't think it matters _that_ much when it comes to premium brands. If you really can't afford Apple, you just grab a Windows laptop for half the price with twice the specs (yes, exaggerating a bit here). Kinda like when all you can afford is an old Crown Vic you're not gonna look at the new Mercedes offerings anyways. But if you consider them in the first place, a few $$ more for an extra here or there don't make a real difference either. Heck, look at how much the prices just upgrading to reasonable specs (16 GiB RAM, 256 GiB SSD) will set you back. Seriously, I wouldn't even consider a MacBook if ±$200 break the bank. Not talking down to those who can't afford it, just trying to make sense of it and add my 2¢. Your mileage may vary of course.
Hey I’m a student and I just recently bought a MBA 2019. I’m not doing video editing or photoshop (nothing heavy) so I thought the extra battery life, better keyboard experience and the lighter weight would suit my needs better. I’m using a lot of office 365 and other programs for especially maths. A lot of multitasking. Would the CPU be good enough since it’s a dual core? I will also take programming in about 2 months when we decide our direction we want to go. I just want to ask you two very important questions! How is a MBA 2019 for programming? How many years will my MBA last? (I’m good at taking care of my stuff)
unturorum Ahah, i think it’s pretty good for most programming since I have done some research on it. My main questions is just how long it will be fast, and how long it will last
Is macbook air okay for day to day admin task? I work from home and I have the old mid 2012 13inch macbook pro which is getting the job done but noticeably slow on some apps. Takes a little while to open ms office, system preference, boot up, and adobe. I find the air cheaper and fits my budget but I also like the pro due to touchbar but not necessary.
Greg, great comparison review. do you think the touch bar eats up battery life?I don't see anyone reviewing this, can you? If the touch bar is shaving off an hour or two hours, can we all petition Apple to remove it? I'm especially curious about that, because I owned a Lenovo X1 carbon nearly a decade ago where it had a touch bar similar to Apple's but didn't use it. So aside from battery life, I am also curious about if people really use it. Can you devote an entire video on that touch bar? Thanks
@@denniszenanywhere Everything, I love that it adapts to what application or tab you are on by displaying better shortcuts that you are more likely to use. Such as writing an email it will have a paper clip so I can attach an attachment to the email. I also got mine for $850 cause i found a loop hole at best buy. here is the link of how if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/f1Q7GhB2JiM/w-d-xo.html
Why do all of you TH-cam reviewers talk like weird robots? If you talked to me like that in-person, I'd think there was something wrong with you. Good review, though.
@@GregsGadgets Again, I appreciate the review. I am on camera for over 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. If I can offer you this tip, watch the delivery of newspeople in larger markets, especially Meteorologists without scripts. Use that as a guide on how to adlib on-camera. Conversational is key.
I really enjoyed your video! I know that the MacBook Pro is going to get a refresh next year but I need a laptop now and was wondering if you think I should buy the 13 inch pro with 4 thunderbolt ports or just spend the extra $800 and get the 15 inch with the 8 core i9 and 560x? Keep up the great work man love the videos!
Thank you so much 🙏 Depends on what you want to use the machine for. If you plan to do anything that is more graphics intensive, you should look at the 15” the dedicated GPUs help out in that department. Same if you need some super fast multithreaded cpu performance, those 8 core processors are insanely fast. But if you don’t need all that horsepower or you want more portability, go with the 13” i hope that helps 🙏
William Gaddie 15in has GPU. But also most MBP 2018/19 models have issues with the T2 affecting audio - so if audio work is important to you, hold out.
If you're asking, you don't need the 15". I only want it for the larger screen, don't need it for much of anything else other than the more up to date internals. Just get the 13". I had the 15, but use an external monitor and glad to save the cash. Or, you can do the same... get an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Have a huge display when at home and then something more portable on the go.
If you're looking to buy a MacBook Pro: amzn.to/2JYxpbt or MacBook Air: amzn.to/2l6nBmX consider using these links. Thank you. 🙏
its cheaper from apple.com
Think Adorama.com has even lower prices for these two newest Macs.
i love your eyes😍
Thank you 🙏 They’re grey
@@GregsGadgets i know😍
I found you comparison better than some other bigger TH-camrs! Thanks for this man.
Can you compare the higher-end 13 inch MacBook pro and the lower end 13 inch MacBook pro?
Do you need a lot of power? Go with the 15inch.
Do you want portability? Go with the 13in.
Other things to note, 15in and expensive 13in have 4 ports

15:04 the conclusion
I thought i would prefer no touchbar, until i actually tried the touchbar in a store display and really liked it
Yeah, it’s not revolutionary or necessary, but it’s better than function keys to me.
Thank you for the great way of comparing the two types. It was very informative and definitely I'll go for MacBook Pro this time!

An amazing comparison for sure!
Though they are similar now, how might their components compare 4-5 years down the line? Will the quad core help future proof the laptop a Bit?
Air is gonna get problems with new apps and newer versions of Mac OS 2-3 years from now, Pro is gonna last 4-6 years. The Air is really, really slow.

Amolak Singh They’re getting close to being able to include their own chips, wont be long now and then it’s bye bye Intel.
you forget the price factor
I mention it at the end of the video.
So you think it’s better for the computer internals to overheat than have a little heat escape on the keyboard? 🤔
Joker the pro over heats and has a cheaper battery!!
Hi , which one you recomended for cybersecurity and programming, also thanks for video
i have an Hp Spectre x360 ad and compared to the macbook pro, do you think i should upgrade?
Great video Greg! iPad Pro vs MacBook Pro next please! 🙏🏻
Can you do an updated back to school laptop recommendations video?
Working on something like that right now.
Macbooks are often used long term, so i think going for the pro just for the fact that it is future proof is a good choice.
Another factor to consider for sure
Personally leaning towsrds getting the pro for added peace of mind.

denniszenanywhere I never had Touch Bar until I got my new MacBook Pro and I am in love with it.
@@Martin4Jimenez what do you use it for?
@@denniszenanywhere Everything, I love that it adapts to what application or tab you are on by displaying better shortcuts that you are more likely to use. Such as writing an email it will have a paper clip so I can attach an attachment to the email. I also got mine for $850 cause i found a loop hole at best buy. here is the link of how if you are interested.

I feel like the Air needs a lower price point. At a $200 difference the gap doesn't feel significant.
Can you make a video on the runner up that was being voted too?
Absolutely. I plan on eventually doing all of them.
What about price that takes 2points
Why do all of you TH-cam reviewers talk like weird robots? If you talked to me like that in-person, I'd think there was something wrong with you. Good review, though.
Hey man, it’s not that easy talking to a camera.
@@GregsGadgets Again, I appreciate the review. I am on camera for over 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. If I can offer you this tip, watch the delivery of newspeople in larger markets, especially Meteorologists without scripts. Use that as a guide on how to adlib on-camera. Conversational is key.
Battery life 6-8 hrs on the pro..is that for real?..that's almost half than the air 🙄
Yup
I really enjoyed your video! I know that the MacBook Pro is going to get a refresh next year but I need a laptop now and was wondering if you think I should buy the 13 inch pro with 4 thunderbolt ports or just spend the extra $800 and get the 15 inch with the 8 core i9 and 560x? Keep up the great work man love the videos!
The fact that you're even struggling choosing, save the money and get the 13"
Thank you so much 🙏
Depends on what you want to use the machine for. If you plan to do anything that is more graphics intensive, you should look at the 15” the dedicated GPUs help out in that department.
Same if you need some super fast multithreaded cpu performance, those 8 core processors are insanely fast.
But if you don’t need all that horsepower or you want more portability, go with the 13” i hope that helps 🙏
William Gaddie 15in has GPU.
But also most MBP 2018/19 models have issues with the T2 affecting audio - so if audio work is important to you, hold out.
If you're asking, you don't need the 15". I only want it for the larger screen, don't need it for much of anything else other than the more up to date internals. Just get the 13". I had the 15, but use an external monitor and glad to save the cash. Or, you can do the same... get an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Have a huge display when at home and then something more portable on the go.
Im on my mbp right now, great laptop, my only problem is that it runs hot. is that common for macs? (My first mac)
what are u doing on ur mbp?
@@rohithmekala2608 Just browsing the web using chrome.
Where is the price
Just eliminate 4k video editing point and put 2k instead or full HD, now tell me the results , as 4K is still a long way to consider 😃
I would take the macbook pro, for just 200 dollars you get way better performance and display.
Rodrigo I got mine for $850 lol
YIMMY what the pro or the air??? And how
@@tonymontana4940 either bro just look at my video and try and pull it off
Rodrigo yeah but you’ll only get 128gb
Good and support your compare great 👍
is the macbook air good for the coding ?
I think eventually apple will get rid of function keys and only use Touch Bar. Making the function keys outdated like the home button on an iPhone.
