Hey guys I’m just making a decision here not sure what’s the best deal.

The MacBook Pro M2 (certified refurbished from Apple) is $1,299 CAD 8 core CPU and 10 core gpu

The MacBook Air M1 is $1,089 CAD (brand new with the gift card promo)

The MacBook Air M2 is $1,204 CAD (with the promo aswell)

I’ll be using the laptop for school work/personal things. Just want to know from your guys experience what should I do?

P.S I’m looking at 8 GB ram so all the above is that. Considering I will only use it for school work/shows and movies I thought that would be enough, please let me know!

      Last question is the 256 gb good vs the 512 gb I only use around 115 gb I was reading that the 256 can be slow?

        512GB is preferred. The read/write speed on the M2 Air SSD is a bit slower than it should be due to one nan chip. A problem created by the chip shortage of the Covid period. 512GB of SSD corrects this issue.

          In my situation doesn’t seem like the 512 gb would be worth it I guess?
