Apple recently<\/a> announced its new MacBook <\/a>Lineup powered by Apple M1 Arm Chip. M here stands for Mac(Just Guessing). Anyway, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are the mainstream Macs by Apple<\/a> and both are powered by M1 chip then what’s the difference? Why are they priced so differently? Which one is right for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fan: The Big One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first time ever we have a MacBook(after MacBook 2015) without a Cooling Fan. MacBook Air doesn’t have any cooling fan but MacBook Pro does have active cooling. The Fan makes a hell lot of difference than you might think. If MacBook Air can sustain without a fan then why does MacBook Pro need one? MacBook Pro has always been about Power the Professionals. The Pro models are always the more powerful ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year both the Air and Pro models have the same processor that is why in order to create a performance difference Apple played this trick. MacBook Air due to lack of active cooling can’t use the M1 chip to its max power due to heat threshold. As soon as the MacBook starts heating the M1 chip will slow down to reduce heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Contrary, M1 Chip on the MacBook Pro will allow the user to use its full potential for longer periods of time without any threshold. That is why Fan: is the Big One. But this is just my view. We will know the real performance difference once the Macs are available for Reviewing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
