MacBook pro M1 or MacBook Air M2? (alien.top)

I'm shopping for a new laptop and it seems like both the MacBook Pro M1 and Air M2 are relatively the same price although the pro is a 14" and air is a 15".

I don't plan on doing intensive workload and maybe some video editing or animation / PowerPoint presentation / SW compilation will be the heaviest use I'll put it through.

That said the M1 chip is a few years old now. Would it still be worthwhile for me to get the MacBook Pro M1 anyways despite the fact? I don't really need the latest and greatest.

What does it matter if it's a bit older than the next gen chip, compared to the better screen (120 vs 60hz), better speakers, chip being more powerful.

m1 14, end of story.
