In Air even trackpad had nice smooth muffled click while Pro had loud hollow echo type click. The again I know pricier Pro models have different type of speakers even in pricier 13' model and then in 16' they are totally different and much better quality than in all others including Air.Īlso some other difference between two I had was that both keyboard and trackpad sounded and felt more solid in Air.

So I'm also puzzled as in all specs it looks like Pro should have much better speakers than Air. So that likely causes the difference in bass output.Īlso reading Notebookcheck reviews of the models they have tested so far, I think Air (from 2018 model forward) scored better in all of them than cheapest basic Pro model.

From the photos it looks like actual speaker element of each speaker in Air is one large speaker and Pro has two small ones around the same total size together as one in Air. I don't know if things have changed since but looking at iFixit teardowns it looks like speakers today are pretty much the same in both Air and Pro what it was when I made my comparison. It had much more bass and pleasing sound while Pro sounded very tinny while balanced.
