What is the best option between MacBook air M3 and Macbook Pro M3.l
If you've got 16g of ram and at least 512g of HD, the Macbook air will serve Logos' needs just fine. What else would you like to do with your laptop is the question. For more intensive applications (video editors, etc), the pro would serve you better. I'm running a M1 Max but a similar M1 air has everything Logos needs.
@NK Thank you, it will be mainly be used for logos and normal work related use that makes use of web and spreadsheets and email. I just saw there is an older Macbook Pro that has the same M3 chip as Macbook Air not the Pro chip, but the screen is 14inch and has better display and has 512gb storage and not 256gb like Mackbook Air.
buy all the memory you need as upgrading both storage and ram is not easy with the Mac laptops. If you can do it it is expensive. I have an M1 MBP 16" and love it. My wife has the M1 air and she loves how compact and light it is. As long as you have the storage for the long haul, you will be good.
I have a 2011 MBP that still runs great, but can't be updated any more.
MacBook Pro if you need sustained maximum performance for long periods of time. Very few people really need that.
The main difference between the two is that the Pro has a cooling fan. The Air does not. When the MacBook Air has to do sustained maximum performance, it will slow down when it gets too hot. This is called thermal throttling. It doesn’t happen very often under normal usage. Logos is not going to do it except for maybe while indexing.
Not having a cooling fan is actually an advantage. Because cooling fans are mechanical components sometimes they fail. even when they don’t fail, they always blow air through the inside of the computer case getting dust and dirt on all of the components so I really like the MacBook Air. It stays clean inside and is likely to last a lot longer.

What is the syntax for a Hebrew search? Where is it described in the Docs?
It seems to me that we used to be able to create links in our external documents that would take us directly to the Logos resources on our device. But now, when I click "copy link" in a resource on my laptop, and paste it into my document on my laptop, the link takes me to the web version of my account. What do I need to…
For several years I used NASB and NIV as my favorite bibles, and made many highlights in the text of each. I have since started also using ESV and have all three open in the desktop app. The problem is when I highlight a verse in ESV and it was already highlighted in NASB and/or NIV, it now does a double highlight in the…
I recently learned that I can create a collection and then add that collection to a Passage Guide, which I find really helpful. So then I created another collection and wanted to add it also, but I found that when I added that new collection the Passage Guide wrote over my first collection. Given all this, how do I add…
