What the difference means for your site
Width: 1470px vs 1710px
Headings and buttons wrap differently: a line that fits in 1710px can break onto two lines in 1470px. Anything with a fixed width between the two makes the narrower screen scroll sideways (fix it).
Height: 956px vs 1107px
On first load a page shows 832px on the MacBook Air 13″ (M2–M5) and 982px on the MacBook Air 15″ (M2–M5), so “above the fold” differs by 150px.
