Please stop recommending the Macbook Pro 14 over the Macbook Air 15 without a disclaimer (alien.top)

The MBA 13 and MBP 14 have very similar working real estate on their displays. See their default scaled resolutions for better understanding.

The MBA 15 and MBP 16 have very similar working real estate on their displays. Again, see their default scaled resolutions for better understanding.

If someone is okay with a smaller working real estate on their display, they should consider a MBA 13 or MBP 14. If they want or need MORE working real estate, they shoud consider a MBA 15 or MBP 16.

It's a pet-peeve of mine when people look at the price of the MBA 15 and recommend that someone get the MBP 14 instead. They are very different experiences and some people won't be happy with the smaller working space

"some people won't be happy with the smaller working space."

" I would be not be happy with the MBP 14 display"

True but that is only one aspect to deciding. And agree that recommends are biased due to this or that model that works great for them. But to be fair the OP's are usually very vague of what their actual needs are.

Others will have less issue with screen size 14" vs. 15" and less of a concern and more concerns in performance and ports having a higher priority.

This would mostly be a mute point if posters would stop being vague and lazy in asking. By giving a deeper more meaningful needs and wants when posting.
