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?
