Amazon's MacBook deals tend to get especially good during its major sitewide sales, and with its second-ever Big Spring Sale on from March 25 to 31, I wasn't surprised to see discounts of up to $400 popping up across the Air and Pro lines.

If you want a smaller and more affordable laptop and don’t mind having a smaller display, the 13-inch MacBook Air is the best choice. Conversely, if you want the most screen real-estate possible on a MacBook, then a 16-inch MacBook Pro is for you. But there’s more to consider than just screen size.

Commentary: The M4 MacBook Air has all the power and ports I need. But I could use one Pro feature that's still not an option for Apple's thin-and-light laptop.
