It’s time for my Intel MacBook Pro to hang up its hat

I’ve had my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro since 2021, when I picked it up used. For years, this thing ran four monitors in my office, came with me to coffee shops, and got me through more deadlines than I can count. Now Apple’s got the new M5 MacBook Pros out, and I’ve been thinking about whether it’s time to move on. But after really looking at my work habits—especially how I use my iPad Pro as a second display when I’m out—I figured out I don’t actually need the most powerful MacBook. The 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 is the better fit.
