Is the M6 MacBook Pro worth it over the MacBook Air?

Yes if you need a brighter screen, active cooling for long workloads or the HDMI and SD slots. The Air is lighter and fine for everyday tasks.

How much memory should I get?

16 GB suits writing, browsing and light editing. Choose 24 or 32 GB if you edit 4K video, run virtual machines or keep many apps open.

Apple rates it at up to 24 hours. Real mixed use with a bright screen typically lands well short of that but still covers a full workday.

Yes. The 14-inch model includes HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe charging and Thunderbolt USB-C ports.

No. Memory and storage are soldered, so pick the configuration you need at purchase.

The laptop, a USB-C power adapter and a MagSafe charging cable. No mouse or sleeve is included.
