I recently decided to opt for going for a macbook as my first laptop since I’m heading off into college. No more of that old slow school issed chromebooks anymore. However I have a budget of around $800. Should I go for a new macbook air with the m1 chip or some older macbooks that are used. I’ve seen some old macbook pros for around $800 as well. I plan to use this laptop to do edits, school work, code, and just a regular daily use for youtube or just reading. Any help and opinions would be great. Thanks.
The M1 Mac is more pricey but it is worth the price. Apple Silicon dusts every Intel Mac with performance and battery life. A M1 Mac will last longer then an Intel version because it’s newer.
