I’m sure you also know that you can raise and lower the system volume using VO + NumberRow minus/equal. (These are the 2 keys located immediately to the left of the Backspace/Delete key. Did you know: Holding down the Fn key, will cause the Backspace/Delete key to perform as a Forward Delete

For those using a MacBook Pro with TouchBar, VoiceOver commands that utilize the F-keys, can be initiated by pressing the FN key, along with the VO modifier and NumberRow keys. For example, Fn + VO + NumberRow 8, can be used to open the VoiceOver Utility. Fn + VO + NumberRow 1 twice, can be

The Cheapest air also only has a 7 core processor which again may or may not affect anything. If you step up to the 512 version they do give you the extra core so you have the 8. I wanted to go fanless but decided ultimently to go with the pro. The Touch Bar doesn’t bother me to much I can work
