I think the entry level macbook pro is better buy than this. For $100, the CPU is much better, and very likely the build quality too. And everything else including weight, keyboard, ports, battery life etc. mostly the same.

The Air has the 8th generation i5 which seems to be a solid upgrade in benchmarks https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-8250U-vs-Intel...

Which one? MacBook Pro without Touch Bar has older cpu generation (albeit it is faster) but it still has the previous version of the keyboard (without membrane).
