MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air: Pro wins for heavy video editing

Regarding the MacBook Air: The Air has no fan, so it thermal throttles under sustained loads like 4K ProRes exports, while the Pro runs full speed for hours. The Pro also offers up to 128GB RAM vs 24GB, extra GPU cores, and faster memory bandwidth. For light 1080p clips the Air works, but heavy editing means the Pro finishes exports in half the time.
