Here and there I checked for the MBP 16" but price was not acceptable to me and for my light usage my MBP did it's job until more and more apps didn't run after an update because I run Mojave which is less and less supported by apps. Thanks to current market hype some money found it's way into my pockets and at the same time the new M3 MBA was announced.
I didn't do a lot of research when I ordered the 15" MBA 16/2TB.
Why MBA over MBP? My thoughts were:
Currently I still use my 2012 13" MBP.
- used it 99% in clamshell mode cause I found the 13" too small -> wished the screen was larger
- didn't like the noise of the fan -> wished it would be silent
- I used the sdcard card slot years ago when I used my digital cam, now i use only my iphone for photos -> I can live with a donge which could also be used for newer USB-C devices like iphone or ipad
- the MBA comes with only 2 USB-C connectors but so does the M3 MBP
- Today I checked again the displays 14" MBP vs. 15" MBA and I can't follow the hype about the MBP screens. But what was very visible to me was the difference in screen size. I work often with spread sheets so more screen space is very helpful.
Would have loved to have an USB-A slot but the MBP doesn't have one either.
Any comments?
