MacBook Air 15 (M3) vs MacBook Pro 14 (M4)

The M4 Pro’s 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU outperform the M3’s 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, delivering 40% higher sustained multi-core throughput and 50% more GPU compute power. The MacBook Air 15 M3 is best for writers, students, and light photo editors who need 1TB storage, 15.5-hour battery life, and a fanless design for silent operation. The MacBook Pro 14 M4 Pro suits video editors and 3D modelers who need 24GB unified RAM, SDXC card reader, HDMI output, and 16-core GPU acceleration for 4K ProRes rendering. In UAE at AED 6899 vs AED 6499, the MacBook Pro wins because it includes HDMI and SD card support for professional workflows; in India at ₹169900 vs ₹159900, the MacBook Pro wins on value because its 512GB storage is offset by 24GB RAM and professional ports absent in the Air.
