How’s TC like for 4 yoe SWE at Gusto? How’s WLB? Id buy M2 air
Yep. Great build quality, runs cool and long battery life.
I loved it. I had it but gave it to my bro as I was given M2 by my company
How much better is m2?
Yes, only if you’re going from a non-apple silicon to an apple silicon. If it’s from apple silicon to an apple silicon, the “power” is pretty insignificant to most people. I.e M1 to M2.
Yeah my Macbook is from 2016 and finally died lol.
Hp chromebook. Great battery life and best for YouTube, browsing…
Apple silicon is ridiculously good. This don't even compare
Seriously, it’s amazing. I upgraded to M2 from intel and it’s life changing. I can actually use it as a laptop now, without burning my balls.
If you REALLY only use laptop for entertainment purpose like YouTube/Netflix/discord, just go for a cheap PC without graphics card. Something that’s i5 will do. A M1 or a Mac adds nothing to the experience.
That is simply false. The battery life on Apple silicon laptops completely blows any other laptops out of the water. I’m also sure op can find a refurb or used one for >600.
That’s why I started out with the IF Like literally a Chromebook can do what OP wants. Having M1 is an overkill just to have longer battery for like what 3 times of money to a Chromebook or double of a regular laptop?
The M2 camera quality is better for video calls.
It was for $750 last week at Costco down from $999
Yes. It’s perfect for casual usage and can easily handle most software development. I use one as my personal laptop. You can get the m2 but I think the m1 air is good enough especially for the price.
Get the m2 air
Do you think it's worth $400 more?
I've seen it on sale for $999
