Our Verdict

Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2024)

Apple MacBook Air 13 (M4, 2025)

While the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2024) is a much better device than the Apple MacBook Air 13 (M4, 2025), they aren't intended for the same audience. The Air is an ultraportable designed for light to moderately intensive workloads, while the Pro is a much more powerful device aimed at professionals, like content creators. The Pro has a nicer Mini LED display, more ports, and longer battery life. If you want the niceties of the Pro model but don't need the extra processing power, know that the Pro is also available with the base M4 SoC.
