hi angel!! if i’m being completely honest, i’m not the best person to ask since i’m v clueless when it comes to gadgets + their specs and things, but i think it depends on your needs! that being said, i’ve only ever had the mac air so i wouldn’t know how it compares to the pro, but it does the job fairly well and the only gripe i have with it is that it doesn’t have a cd drive (and even then that’s not really a problem). the battery life is pretty decent + it’s really light which is great for carrying to lectures, but again, i don’t know how it compares to other laptops so i recommend you to do a little research to see which one fits your needs better ^^
