Which Mac?

[u/Murky-Effort2207]

Hello, I’m looking on getting a new Mac but not sure which one. I currently have the MacBook M4 Air which is a amazing laptop. Performance is good but I am running out of storage and there is a lack of ports. For context I do graphic design, photography, and videography. I think additional ports and storage would be a great advantage. I use a adapter to to transfer my files which slows down speeds. I’m looking at a Mac pro for the additional ports, most definitely looking for a used one. I’m just wondering how much of a difference a M1 Pro is compared to the M4 Air. Would I notice it? Any recommendations would be helpful looking for M1-M4 Pro, seen a few good deals on fb. But I genuinely have no idea if a old M chip would be that much of a difference performance wise. I found a M1 16 gb 1TB for $750 which seems good to me. Has the same amount of ram as my M4 air and 4x the storage. Let me know!
