Apple has a nice tool that lets you compare features:

Mac - Compare Models - Apple

No one here can really tell you which one you should by without knowing a whole lot more about how you plan on using it. Also, amount of RAM and storage are important considerations.

Without going into specifics, the MacBook Pro offers a much more powerful system overall (with 7 ports) with a larger Pro Display (higher refresh rate) with a 6 speaker sound system.

The MacBook Air is a light weight and battery saving compromise in comparison (with 4 ports) with a 4 speaker sound system.

You need to see them both in person at your local Apple Retail Store to decide.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉
