For $300 difference I don't see the point of the Air when both are about the exact same weight and mass, and the the 14" is worth every penny with superior screen quality  and far more ports.

It's $100 difference when matching the spec. While the display quality is better on the Pro, the Air gives more screen space (5:19 in video) if the scaling isn't set to smaller text:



The display quality of the Air is also pretty good (6:06). It really comes down to wanting a bigger display or a better quality display. When typing on the smaller laptops, the wrists tend to be touching the edge of the chassis but can rest more easily on the larger base. Bigger trackpad too and the Air has a nice midnight blue color option.

The Air 15" is lower resolution, so even though the panel is larger, it has less pixels and lower resolution.  The 14" at 3,024 x 1,964 will display more than the 15" Air.

They can build all the OLED displays they want.  With the confirmed price-hike on these iPads, consumers won't be happy.  iPadOS does not fully support the M CPU, so it is wasted in an iPad.  The base model iPad can run all the same apps as an iPad Pro.  When the price of the iPad exceeds the price of MacBooks, then you have a problem, especially when the MacBook is a much more capable machine with macOS and pro-level apps.  

For $1,399, you can get the M2 12.9 iPad Pro with 512GB, but no keyboard.  For the same price, you can get the 13" M2 MacBook Air with 16/512.  You would have to be a fool to choose the iPad over the MacBook Air.  And the new iPad Pro is supposed to have a big price hike, but still limited with iPadOS, while the price of the M2 MacBook Air will remain the same.

Hilarious that the 'new' MacBook Air with the same M3 chip as the MacBook Pro now supports two external displays when the lid is closed, but the M3 MacBook Pro can only support one external display.  Meanwhile, all Intel MacBooks can support two external displays with the lid open, for 3 displays.  Way to go Apple.  And still extortion prices for RAM and SSD upgrades.  Maybe Apple is listening to all the complaints to restore a popular feature that they took away when they introduced Apple Silicon.  

Apparently the Air will be able to do this via software update so I’m sure this will apply to the Pro as well. 

Yes, Apple just announced a software update to allow dual external display support with the lid closed on the M3 MacBook Pro...to avoid customer backlash most likely.

Looks like Apple is going to avoid a big PR blunder with the M3 MacBook Pro and they just announced an upcoming software update that will enable the same dual external display support with the lid closed, as featured in the new M3 Air.  So they basically admitted that dual external display support was disabled.  Now that the M3 Air can do it, they realized they already have an M3 product on the market and they had to fix that one to avoid customer backlash.

"Hey baby, can we get pictures with the Apple Vision Pro?"

He is more in love with a piece of technology centered on isolation, than he is with her.  That would have been the sign to tear up the marriage license and walk away.  The fact that he brought them to the wedding was the biggest red flag not to marry the guy.  I bet he wears the Vision Pro in front of the judge during their divorce or annulment.
