For those with MacBook Air, how has your experience with Photomator been? I need to upgrade my MacBook Pro 2015 since I can’t install Photomator (can’t upgrade to OS Ventura).

I’m thinking mostly about the passive cooling of the 13/15” Air vs the active cooling of the 14” Pro. Beyond Photomator I wouldn’t be doing much else other than email and web browsing so a MacBook Pro is probably overkill.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 M1 (2020) and it works very well. I'm sure the new MBP15 will be fantastic!

I have been using an M1 MacBook Air for at least 12 months. Cooling has never been an issue. I run Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro on it along with various genealogy software with large databases. Absolutely no performance issues.

I confirm. Absolutely no performance issues. I still have M1 MacBook Air

I have a MacBook Air M2, maxed out re memory and storage. I do video editing and other compute-intensive work on it. I also have an Intel Mac Mini (also maxed out) with an eGPU (RX 5700 XT) attached. In general, my MBA beats the Mini/eGPU system running identical programs on identical subject matter. I'd ditch the Mini but I have a database program that won't run under Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon. The M2 is hands down the best computer I've ever owned.
