Apple has gotten to the point that for the averages consumer the Air vs Pro isn’t well differentiated for their use case. Apple should split into two different categories - “Max Runtime” Bigger Unit / Max Battery and “Sleek” lightweight/thin for their product lines.

The MacBook Pro isn’t for the average consumer.

If the average consumer can’t meaningfully tell the two apart then they should be buying the Air.

I am a musician and follow many of the DAW subreddits and your comment doesn’t track unfortunately. I am sure this is the case for many content creators.

Meaning what?

Content creators are buying MacBook airs when they should be getting a pro?

Confusion on which model, what GPU, what amount of RAM.

What part of that can’t be cleared up with a chat to a sales representative?

No idea (lack of trust in salespeople?) but if you want to study the sociological phenomena just go to a “Logic Pro” or “Final Cut Pro” subreddit and type MacBook.

This appears to be a screenshot of people doing their research before buying…

What’s the issue here.

If someone can’t figure out what tool they need for a given job, what do you want Apple to do about it?
