1st. macbook air or macbook pro? less likely using for video editing or photo.
2nd. 128gb or 256 gb? 128 seem like not enough.
3rd. e.g. 2017 macbook can upgrade to the latest OS?

entry level MacBook Pro is the winner compares to air. And in term of prices, pro is a lil bit higher but has more pros.

- If it's for email, fb, youtube etc, air is more than enough, and its light.

2nd. 128gb or 256 gb? 128 seem like not enough.
- at least 256GB, even most of the phones have 128GB nowadays, doesn't make much sense to have a laptop that has smaller/same space as phones.

MacBook Pro no brainer.

256gb is bare min. 512gb is ideal.

Anything with video editing please go for pro. The tiny-weeny cooling fan & heatsink on the Air won't survive the long hour boiling.

alright. However, for normal use, shouldn't be any problem, right?
