Great value for money, one of the best offers.

If I had to choose between an Air 512 GB with an i5 10th generation processor and a Pro 13 256 GB with an i8th generation processor, I would choose with the latter. It offers superior cooling than Air (two coolers instead of one) and thus better shows the capabilities of the processor; I also don't anticipate any memory issues provided you employ external SSDs. This is a list of advantages: After using macOS for years, I finally found an operating system I liked. The speedy SSD drive makes for decent performance; applications launch swiftly and games load quickly. I am completely self-sufficient; I work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and then charge the battery overnight; however, after all that time, only about 40% of the charge remains. Negatives are listed below: I would say cool, but that has a downside that only becomes apparent while doing intensive work or viewing high-resolution videos or movies online (4k and higher). With ten to eleven programs open and numerous Safari tabs open, the MacBook's temperature rises significantly above the keyboard. The keyboard's tactile sensations have notably diminished; Butterly was excellent in this regard, but I approve of this degradation; I'd rather use a tried-and-true membrane, as is found in poppies that are still being plowed till 2022, than experiment with unproven technologies.
