Depends on which MacBook Pro you're talking about.

If the MacBook Pro you're talking about is the 13 inch model with the touch bar, then get the Air, but if it's the model with the M1 Pro or Max, absolutely go for that. Besides a faster chip, the 14 and 16 inch models have a better port selection, screen, and speakers.

However, the model with the touch bar is essentially the same computer as the Air but more expensive.

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip and it's still a beast.

Still blows my mind that a co-founder of a popular (at the time) site decided to copy a guy who knows nothing about social media and is running it into the ground.

Yeah, I know spez is an asshole, but it's still bizarre.

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

Yet another Linux-first OEM that sells nvidia's garbage. No thanks.

No, people don't want to spend $60,000+ for a disposable car that you can't drive in the rain.

I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won't buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.

Using the latest Plasma Wayland on Arch, btw. They don't work on any other distro I've tried either. My System76 supports gestures on Windows 10.

I'm not willing to switch to GNOME. Having to install a bunch of extensions to get a halfway usable experience that the GNOME devs can and will break on a whim isn't my cup of tea.

I'm on the latest KDE Wayland on Arch and don't have any of these.

I am NOT using x11!!

Better trackpad support on KDE on Wayland. I use multi-finger gestures all the time on my MacBook, and my System76 laptop supports them on Windows, but the only gesture that works on Linux is two-finger scrolling.

I wish Wayland had support for multi-finger gestures. I know my System76 laptop's trackpad supports them on Windows, but Windows is trash. I use them all the time on my Mac, but I just use a mouse on Linux.
