I’m of the same mindset, based on everything we Know so far. In a previous article where we pitted the MacBook Air 2022 vs MacBook Pro 2022, our Global Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer said he’d rather get the Air over the Pro. In contrast, the MacBook Air with its 52.6 watt-hour battery is rated for 18 hours of video and 15 hours of wireless web browsing. Per Apple, the MacBook Pro is rated to last for 20 hours of video playback and 17 hours of wireless web surfing. The new MacBook Pro with its 58.2 watt-hour battery should have a longer battery life than the MacBook Air. This is something video editors will no doubt take note of. Because of this, the Pro should reach higher levels of performance. The Pro also has active cooling whereas the Air has a fanless design. If you want that on the Air, you’ll have to pay $300 extra. Though both laptops pack the M2 chip, the Pro offers a 10-core GPU as standard. Though it might be tempting to dismiss the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2022 based on what we've seen so far, it has some advantages over the Air. Reasons you might still consider the MacBook Pro But because the Air includes MagSafe, you can argue that it has more available ports. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro each have two USB-C ports and a single headphone jack. With the MacBook Air, MagSafe also frees up a Thunderbolt/USB-C port, allowing you to use the two available ports for plugging in peripherals.
It also snaps off with a quick pull, which can protect your MacBook against accidental tugs. What’s so great about MagSafe? For those who don’t know, the feature allows the power cable to snap into position and perfectly align itself. Unfortunately, the MacBook Pro still charges via USB-C. MagSafe charging made its return with the MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch, and we’re glad to see the MacBook Air also has the beloved feature. The new MacBook Air has MagSafe charging while the MacBook Pro features USB-C charging.
