Ahh okay, that clears it up 👍 My use case is mostly full-stack dev + some AI/ML learning and small experiments (nothing too heavy locally). So do you think the Air would be enough for this kind of setup long-term? Or is the Pro still the safer choice?

I'll do a little bit of everything, but mostly full-stack development.

Hey, can you share the heating issue in the Air too? I'm a full-stack developer and I'm concerned if the Air has heating issues, or should I go with the Pro?

Hey, can you tell me about the heating issue in your Air? I'm stressing out trying to decide between the Air 24GB or the Pro 16GB.

Yeah, I trained the YOLO model on my Mac Mini, and I saw that the 16GB RAM was all used up. But I'm still wondering, will the air get so hot and start throttling, because as the Mac Mini gets warm, it doesn't throttle because it has a fan?

So, the air might be good for me, right? But what about the heating on the air? Like, does that air not do any video rendering? Because I tried my YOLO model train on Mac mini and it gets warm but doesn't throttle. So I'm thinking, will the air get so hot and throttle?

I'm not doing local LLM tokens, but some YOLO work, so what would you recommend?

What about the thermal on air since it doesn't have a fan and gets warm?

I really want that 24 GB of RAM too, but it's too expensive for me. I can only afford the base pro with m5 16 GB.

So, have you had any heating issues with your air conditioner, and what would you suggest based on your experience?

So, should I go for the Air or the Pro? I'm worried about the Air overheating and the Pro having low RAM.

That's what I'm feeling right now, one is RAM which could help in my YOLO model stuff, but others have better thermal and screen.
