Help plz macbook air m4 or macbook pro m4 both with 16ram 1tb storage
I’m not sure if I should get a **MacBook Air 13-inch with M4, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage** or a **MacBook Pro 14-inch with M4, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage**. I need a laptop that’s powerful but still **portable** with **LLLOOONNNGGGG battery life** since I’ll be using it in literally everywhere like: the kitchen, at school, at home, at work, on the toilet **�**� , in cafés, and in bed to cuddle with at night (lol) I’m a **Chrome maniac**—I almost always have **80+ tabs** open, but I use tab memory management to unload tabs I haven’t used in a while to save RAM. I have tabs for everything: **shopping, work, research, studying, entertainment, fitness, social media, etc.** I also always have **Spotify running**—I never close the app cause music is my life (even tho i don't create any type of music nor editing or anything like that) Right now, I have a **2019 Intel MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage**, (EMBARRASSING I know but i was 19 and did not know anything about computers, especially laptops, so i have def outgrown it) and it **cannot handle me**. I’m completely traumatized by its **overheating, throttling, and that damn fan that just keeps going and going** 😭. It’s so bad that I have to restart my laptop all the time. It’s finally **time for a new Mac**! So, what do you think would suit me best? Do you have any follow-up questions? I don’t edit videos, music, or anything like that. The most demanding thing I do is **screen recording on Teams or Zoom** with my **webcam and microphone on**, while having **80+ Chrome tabs open and Spotify running in the background**. My current Mac **barely survives** this, and I do this around **three times a week**, with recordings ranging from **20 minutes to about an hour**. Sooo... yeah... that’s my situation. **Money is not an issue (cause the company I work for will cover the cost)**, but I want a laptop that will last me **at least 8 years** without struggling to keep up—unlike my current MacBook, which I’ve definitely outgrown. The **Air** feels right because the **M4 is powerful**, and many say it can **handle this type of multitasking well** while maintaining **long battery life** without throttling. Plus, it’s **light and sexy**, easy to carry around at home, school, and work. The main thing I’d be missing out on is **the slightly bigger screen and the ProMotion display on the Pro model**, but I **don’t care about that**—13-inch vs. 14-inch with slightly better brightness and colors doesn’t matter to me based on my usage. Plus, I’d avoid annoying fan noise, though people say **the M4 is more power-efficient**, so even the **Pro’s fan doesn’t kick in as quickly** as my current Intel-powered nightmare. Sooo yeah. Feel free to **Ask me more questions to help me to decide <3**2
