Pros
- I got an M2 Air and my gf has an M2 Pro, both 13”. To me, my Air looks and feels much more modern and comfortable so I’d go for Air any day of the week. Granted I don’t do any heavy tasks on it, mostly browser, video calls, notion, etc....

- If you do gaming I would instead recommend buying a MacBook Pro with the M2 pro chip. Get the same configuration- storage, and RAM. The chip is basically the same strength, if not better on the M2 Pro, and it has fans which would prevent...
- I just got a new projector (Hisense M2 Pro), and have noticed how marked up the current screen is.

I use an M2 Pro MBP every day for work and personal stuff. (I own it.) The keyboard is great, the trackpad is fantastic, the screen is very nice and it can deliver high performance and long battery life.
I have an M2 Pro with 16 GB RAM and I can run a couple VM's just fine.
