should I buy a Macbook Pro M2 2022 or Air M2 2022?

I work with some extensive Excel spreadsheets, occasional Word documents, several email accounts, watch YouTube art instructional videos, have about 30,000 photos. and some downloaded music. I will need a hub as I have an external monitor and label printer to plug in plus will need an SD card reader and occasionally plugging in a dvd drive. I need the portability of a laptop, and am happy with 13". I have narrowed down my needs to either a MacBook Pro M2 2022 or a MacBook Air M2 2022, with 16GB memory and 1TB storage. why would one be a better choice than the other for me? Any help in understanding the difference would be appreciated!

The Air has no active cooling (fans) the pro has active cooling, When doing heavy tasks, like video and photo editing, the pro can work at maximum capacity for longer due to the fans.


I choose a pro over an air due to this, but I am into photo and video editing
