I have a vanilla Macbook Air 13". Been great for the last few years, mainly browsing, email, google apps, etc.

I am now putting more demands on it:
using excel heavier (2-3 windows), outlook and teams and mac mail simultaneously, more tabs and browser instances, two monitors, occasional VPN use, regular time machine and online replication.

As a result, fan is going a bit more loud more often.

Do I need to upgrade to a MBP? I love the small little airs and the now defunct macbook 12 (I also travel for work a lot)... but don't want to "upgrade" to something that is underpowered for my needs.

Thoughts?
