Still can’t decide between mbp and mba
Hi, I’m a student and do development aswell
Looking for a MacBook and not sure what to get
It’ll either be the mba with 16gb of ram, and 1-2tb of storage Or a 16” mbp M1 pro with 32gb of ram and 1tb if storage
Not sure what’ll be best for me, can i get some advice Would love if it was portable and didn’t have to worry about charge + size and weight isn’t a big issue

What kind of development do you do? My MacBook Air is enough to smoothly run iOS simulator and compiles very fast
Swift, js, and the standard html and css for web
Also tend to run linux vms for improving my understanding doing pentest/redteam
Edit: to add, I’m experimenting with python aswell
Mbp
Alright thanks, if you don’t mind me asking, should I alter anything with the mbp I said in the original post, or is the specs good for what I’ll need
Those specs should be fine. If you’re running VMs or docker or want to futureproof your laptop, 32gb is the right way to go
My base model MacBook Air can do all of this perfectly, zero complaints.
Can't comment about the rest.
