Dedicated graphic will only be on the 16"...

I meant for an equal sized macbook. Won’t be lugging around a 16” just for coding. If I need media editing capabilities I rather use a desktop for it compiles much faster.

My i5 MBA's temperatures have consistently stay in 50 degree cel.

Can go as low at 37 if not doing anything, as high as 55 when i running some simple apps.

New MacBook Pro announced but not much of an upgrade for me. I will just stick to my MBA instead. I’m already using an i7 , 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD. The only difference is the screen display.

So you will be keeping it to do development?

not only that.

for processing intensive tasks, MBP will have a greater advantage.

MBP also has better speakers, touch bar.

price gap between MBA and MBP is not significant.

Anyone knows what's the maximum WiFi speed? Is it 866 Mbps?

I believe for MacBook Air the antenna should be 3x3 MIMO so maximum speed on AC should be 1300Mbps but you won’t achieve this speed anyway.

The processor used is different. MBA is using the Y series while 13” Pro is using the U series. MBP gives you more processing power and also faster RAM.

Oh did I mention better thermal design? Yeah so all will result in faster and more stable performance.

oh, isn't the ram same speed 3733mhz for both? and also mbp has fan to the cpu heatsink. I think apple purposely leave this out on the MBA so that it is not even close to competing with the pros.

Yes my bad. I was comparing between the base model. But between both 10th Gen models of MBA and MBP, the RAM speed is the same.

both MBA 2020 and MBP 2020 are still using 720p camera. No comparison there.

10th Gen MBA vs 10th Gen MBP.
RAM : No difference
PROCESSOR : MBA -Y processor vs MBP -U processor - probably.
SSD: No difference
GPU : Both Intel Iris Plus

The only difference is when there is a real teardown to see how the internals are built for MBP. And definitely a Y processor cannot compare to a U processor.

MBA2020 definitely has heat issues because of the Fan placement wonder why did Apple hire such subpar engineers that designed the placement. Oh was the design engineer on drugs?

Based on the above same spec, the price different is how much?

Not necessarily. If you are getting the 10th Gen CPU, the specs you wanted is the base model.

It will be available from authorized reseller too.
