Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024)
The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019) and the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2024) are very different. The MacBook Pro 16 is a much larger device designed for demanding workloads, while the MacBook Air 13 is an ultraportable designed for general productivity tasks. The MacBook Air 13 can handle more intensive workloads than the MacBook Pro 16, as Apple's M3 SoC is significantly faster than the MacBook Pro 16's Intel CPUs and AMD GPUs. The Air 13's M3 SoC is also more power efficient, resulting in a much longer battery life. At this point, there's no reason to get a MacBook with an Intel chip over a MacBook with Apple silicon.
