The MBA (MacBook Air) easily beats the MBP in my opinion. 32GB ram, M4 CPU really is enough for the vast vast majority of tasks. I use mine to process video and 40 megapixel RAW images, and it flies. And the portability is significantly better than the MBP.

It has no fan, but it rarely even gets warm, with no noticeable throttling.

I used an MB or MBP for the entirety of the Intel era, but these days I have a really hard time seeing any meaningful benefit of its increased size and bulk over the MBA.
