So far all I’ve done is update to the latest software and browsed safari, watched YouTube, play Raid Shadow Legends and listened to music. Does it all smoothly and I’m impressed how quick everything opens.

However at the back of my mind I’m wondering if I should send it back and spend a bit more for the 512gb model as someone posted on here it’s 50% faster despite no intentions of moving large files. Alternatively for the same price as the 512gb option I can get an M2 MacBook Pro 13” with the Touch Bar - however from what I can see it’s the exact same CPU with worse screen, display area and webcam but does have cooling.

Or should I just be happy with what I have?

I’m paying monthly as it’s like a mobile contract interest free and have about 4 weeks to return it if I change my mind. The other 2 options are an extra £5-6 a month over 4 years (though I get to upgrade for free after 3)

Will the 512gb model make a significant difference to daily basic use for things like web browsing, photography, very light gaming (App Store not your AAA games - those days are long gone), video streaming etc

Oh and lastly sorry - today the brightness is going crazy where it’s dimming all the way to 0. I up it back to 50% and after a minute or so it goes back to 0. It’s just on the bed as you see in the picture so not bright or dark here.

Thank you :)

    If you’re happy keep it and if you notice it lagging or something then think about switching. Everybody doesn’t have the same needs and from the sound of it what you have is just fine. I have a 2017 air with open core to get Sonoma and it’s functional for what I need it and it sounds like u have about the same needs as I do. Just enjoy no need to second guess. Get an external if you need extra space, you can get a 1-2 terabyte drive for less than what Apple wants for a 256 gb upgrade
