My i5 Air with a measly 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM handles Logic just fine. I
even put Komplete Kontrol on it, with the content on an external SSD.

I do want something that will handle logic, or any music making for
that matter.
That's why I'm thinking the air, or the mini.

I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I'll definitely wait another year or
two before considering any upgrade. In any case, I have another,
newer, non-Apple laptop also, which is currently serving well. I'm
resigned to the necessity of having two working computers, as I've
had first-hand experience of how long it can take to resolve problems
that can render a machine too unreliable for daily use.
Ultimately, the choice depends on what you need most - external
keyboard, portability, performance, and budget. If I recall
correctly, you can buy on-site warranty support for Apple desktop
systems, but not for MacBooks - a factor to consider if you don't
live near an Apple Store or a third-party service provider. I haven't
experienced any hardware problems with Apple devices so far, but they
do of course occur.

I would agree with this. I bought a Pro last year, and wish I'd
gotten a new Air instead. I've gotten somewhat used to the new
keyboard, but I still make way more typos on it than I did the old
keyboard. And I still default back to my 2013 Air when I want
portability. It's not that the Pro is not portable, the Air is just
noticeably smaller and lighter.
Cheers,

the new keyboards, and would rather go with the rumored new Mac mini
if I was going to buy a new Mac. The only downside to this is that
you are going to sacrifice portability.
