Hey Reddit! I’m a senior in college looking for a laptop that will last me at least the next 3 years. I have the opportunity to buy three different ones and am hoping for some input on what I should purchase:

  1. New MacBook Air M1 8gb/256gb - $749
  2. New MacBook Air M2 8gb/256gb - $920
  3. Used 14” MacBook Pro M1 16gb/512gb -$1000

It will be mainly used for everyday school work, WOW (on the rare occasion when I don’t feel like sitting at my desktop) and teaching myself Python overtime. The storage doesn’t bother me much as I have a portable SSD but I am concerned overtime the Airs may not be enough. On the other hand I’ve never purchased a second hand computer so I’m leery about that even though this computer looks to be in excellent condition.

I appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

    Hello, Redditor, I think you are on a different website. If you’re playing WOW, it should be the M2 Air, better GPU
