So in my opinion is the 15 air the useless model, not the base 14 pro

              Is it really though? I mean for everyday low level tasks, then perhaps so, right now.

              But again, this thing has the word ‘Pro’ in its name, that to me suggests a far heavier and more demanding use case. And the high cost would suggest a longer term investment.

              In either case the 14 Pro with 8gb memory that cannot be expanded is not a wise investment. If it has to be a MacOS for the customer, but their use case is that basic, just get a Mac Air. If they have higher demands and a Mac Pro is needed, spend for the extra memory, even at Apples exorbitant prices.

              Either way avoid a base model Mac Pro 14.

                  Always buy windows powered laptops. If you want a very advanced and capable operating system and not a useless joke with limits. Mac can't even read ntfs flash drive.

It’s stretching things to call that a ‘good deal’.

The base model doesn't make sense, it's intended to upsell you pricier models because the MBA is a better deal at that price point.

                                        If you're content with 8 GB, you probably don't need a MBP in the first place.
