Debating on these two laptops… thoughts/opinions??
Personally, my notebook computer primarily sits on my desk, plugged into external monitors. I travel less often than I used to. For this reason, I’d go with the Pro for the extra IO and ability to connect two monitors without resorting to DisplayLink drivers.
Yeah this would be a no brainer for me and would definitely get the Pro. Absolutely no doubt.
So I went back and forth on this as well. I bought the air for my wife cause she is a teacher. I posted my own thread and most people had buyers remorse with going with the pro. They would have preferred extra screen relastate. So I ended up getting her the 15" and honestly she is not gaming or video editing so she would never need for than the M2 which is already better than most i5 and i7 window laptops. At the end of the day it depends what you want to use it for. If it is going to be for nothing more than web browsing and school work the air works. If it will be heavy lifting than the pro.

Personally for me I would spend the extra on the pro just cuz the price difference is not a lot.
