Is this better than the Macbook Pro for $1050? Does it have the good keyboard or does this have the BAD keyboard?

Took a leap of faith with the Air, and very pleased with it. Doesn't run hot at all.

Agreed - I got this Costco one to upgrade my 2018 i5 8GB Mac Air. So far it’s way better/faster for my work

Keep in mind that it's not the same processor. The macbook air i7 runs at 1.1 GHz vs 2.3 for the pro. That's a big difference in terms of performance...

Agreed as well. Bought the $850 MacBook Air from Best Buy. Runs so much smoother than my 2019 MacBook Air

Aside from monitoring the temps that routinely ran in the 70s, the keyboard would feel hot to the touch. Hated it and returned it. MBP runs cool and I wouldn’t recommend the Air to anyone.

The extra RAM might be useful, but there aren't many scenarios where the i7 would be beneficial to a non-power user over the i3.
A) The SSD is soldered on, no replacement
B) The Apple bootloader...

I looked up the benchmarks; this i7 is about 2x faster than your i5 from 2016. Hope this helps.

I second that. It’s an i7 that will run like an i3 or i5 due to throttling under load. I have an i7 desktop and can hear the otherwise silent fans kick off whenever I compile code.

Your joking right? Who in their right mind is going to open a macbook pro and void the warranty.
So I take it that you had to do this to avoid the CPU from throttling down?

The i7 in the macbook air is a waste though, the cooling in the macbook air doesnt allow the end user to take advantage of the additional speed. i5 would be better imho.

You are ignoring the heat issues with the i5 and i7. What is the point of the extra power if you are not getting it due to the CPU overheating? May as well save the cash and get the i3.
