One is tablet one is a laptop. This are the usages.
Which one to choose should be based on ur use cases. It is not hard to understand. Now iPad Pro totally cannot replace a MacBook.

MacBook Pro display is brighter than MacBook Air. This is the only thing that the display is more superior.

lol OK, but I didn't bring up ipad at all. Was comparing the pro vs air only...

thanks man, will definitely wait for the year end model. now my mac still can do the job, just itchy only.
timing wise also just ngam, when bonus is out. hahaha

I'm interested in getting this MBA to replace my current Windows laptop.

Just wondering whether I should get AppleCare or any of the other warranty offered by Machines/Switch/others?

any soft / hard case recommendation?

Supcase is quite good

I using for my MacBook Pro m1 version


Supcase

yeah. considering this too. any other options? thanks, bro

I was thinking to use casing for my MBA, but it decided to keep it naked because it's too sexy to cover it.
Casing also make the MBA more bulky.

You are right on that, but after my last disaster with some water damage (water didn't spill on the keyboard but rather someone knocked over a glass of water and it flowed through the back vents) and fall damage (someone hit the bag where the laptop was kept off the chair), I decided to get a casing for my MBA.

Anyone having a battery life of less than 10 hours?

You have your point. So it depends on whether someone willing to take the risk or not.

Do you guys use CleanMyMac X on your new MBA M1? I ordered mine with 16gb RAM, but when I check on CleanMyMac X, it usually says I only have available RAM of less than 300MB. And I only have WhatsApp, Safari and Mail running.

No. Why need CleanMyMac X? So weird.

most likely buggy software, check in about this Mac -> system report -> memory, should report 16GB

I just use skin. Same colour.
Very hard to differentiate with or without skin.
As sexy as naked but still have at least scratch resistance.

After

Mind to share what skin you use?

I am using EasySkinz as to prevent scratches also.

I bought this one on shopee.

It is 5 in 1 but I only use the upper and bottom skin.

Yes that is because the difference in OS is that MacOS tends to utilise all of the available RAM in the system even when there are minimal apps running.
The new mantra is "Unused RAM is wasted RAM" and now Memory Pressure (not free-memory), is the new metric to follow. (Green is good).

I believe he was asking why did CleanMyMacX reported to him that his system only had 300mb of free available RAM rather than the total amount of memory in his system.
