The MacBook Pro 13 inch entry level model didn’t get the update that the TB version got, hence it’s still running on 7th Gen processor and 2nd gen butterfly keyboard.
Whereas Macbook Air using the latest gen processor and butterfly keyboard compare to the entry level MBP + comes with Touch ID and battery life is the key 😏
Would say if you’re on tight budget, go for the MBA else stick to the MBPTB version instead of the base model 😉
