So, after all of that, which Mac do you choose? My advice would be to start by figuring out what you plan on using the Mac for. If you're going to need a workhorse for editing video, photos, and other taxing tasks, then that rules out the MacBook Air. On the flip side of that, if you don't need a computer that is built for higher-end tasks, then the MacBook Air is the best bang for your buck. Actually, odds are for more Mac owners, the MacBook Air is more than enough computer, a statement that's always been true, but is even more so now that it's using Apple's M1 processor.
