I asked this sub 2 weeks ago if I should get a MacBook since I’m changing over from a PC. As an English major who wants to major in Technical Communications.

The funny thing is my PC is 3 years old and is now acting up since I’ve been thinking about getting a MacBook. The battery isn’t that great. But it gets the work done. I want to fully transfer over to an Apple ecosystem but the thing is I’m not sure if I should get the 8 GB of RAM or 16 GB of RAM with 256 GB of SSD. Especially since Black Friday and Cyber Monday are this week.

On my iPhone, iPad mini, and PC they’re all 256 GB and I still haven’t run out of storage. (If this gives any insight/help).

Would it be best to get refurbished or go with student education and get the discount?

    Thank you for your response. I know my wording isn’t great. I was typing as much as I could before my phone died. I do want to try the Sims game and maybe a bit of Roblox on there. Also, I don’t play games as much as I thought I did. I said “sometimes” cause I tend to only play for like 30 minutes if I’m bored. But I only really play games when my niece or cousin wants me to join in with them (it’s not that often).

    I’m new to Macbooks and I was comparing the refurbished to the student educational pricing. I didn’t know which amount of RAM would be the right choice. That’s why I was in a fender bender. I wasn’t sure which option would be the best one to choose.

    Also if you don’t mind me asking, what’s B&H?

    Thank you for your response again.
