My M1 Pro 14 also plays videos with little delay, whereas my M1 Air always had a long delay. For example, my Apple Watch ALWAYS unlocks my M1 Pro 14, whereas it would work about half the time with the M1 Air. More importantly, and I'm not sure why this is as it doesn't make sense.things just seem to work better. With the M1 Air I always put my AirPods in if I wanted to watch a quick video on it but the 14's speakers are so much better. I almost always used my M1 Air docked, in clamshell mode, but I absolutely love the 14's display and speakers. It looks like typical cheap laptop plastic to me. ![]() The only thing I learned during that visit is that the Midnight Blue M2 color looks like a cheap PC laptop color. I did quickly compare the M2 Air to the M1 Pro 14 in the Apple store last week, but I didn't get a great feeling from either in the store due to it being so crowded/distracting. I will say the combo of the better keyboard, display size, and speakers has me leaning towards keeping it over going with an M2 Air. I want to keep using it for a week and then, this weekend, I'll go to the local Apple store and check out the M2 Air in person to see how much of a difference the slightly smaller screen and the keyboard matter. If I hadn't gotten the $1749 deal I would definitely return it and get the M2 Air 16/512 as I don't do anything often that would require sustained heavy loads (and I suspect 95% of you don't either.). I'm on the fence about keeping the M1 Pro 14. But I suspect the M2 Air might get warm too? The M1 Air never did. Much more so than one or two extra hours of battery life. I disagree - it is a feature and a very good one at that. I'm always amused when I see people reply "it has no fan" as if that is a bad feature of the Air. Since I will use it in clamshell mode most of the time this isn't a deal breaker but it is an issue for me. ![]() IMO the heat when using on my lap is probably the biggest downside to the Pro vs the Air. I'm typing this reply now with it on my lap, where it's been for about 45 minutes, with only Safari (with two tabs) and Noteplan running and it is pretty toasty.
