I want to eventually develop apps but I wonder if I could do just as well with an Air and just maxx out the specs.
Under what circumstances should a Pro overrule the Air for my use case?
(Can linux also be dual-installed to be able to run some flavor of linux alternatively/parallel to MacOS? Might get a Framework one eventually as well


Good question. Answer is, significant.
13” Air: 2.7 lbs.
14” Pro: 3.4 lbs.
15” Air: 3.3 lbs.
16” Pro: 4.7 lbs.
I have the 16”, again, for luxury. The 13” Air is probably the best value overall while being very nice, but the 14” Pro is a nice upgrade while still being very portable.
