New here! Just looking for some advice really.
I’m planning to replace my Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) 2.9Ghz 8 GB memory. It’s now hitting it’s age and slow when logging into macOS for example and it will not support macOS Ventura.
I’m trying to decide between:
- MacBook Air with M2 chip (8core CPU/GPU) for £1,249 adding +£200 for 512GB Storage. = £1,449
- MacBook Air with M2 chip (8 core CPU 10 core GPU) for £1,549.00 (already has 512GB) £100 extra. 5W more adapter.
- MacBook Pro M2?
- Certified refurbished Mac Pro?
- Bonus: Mac Studio M1 MAX 10 core CPU – 24 core GPU. £1,999 (granted no display but if it’s a better bang for buck I can use iPad Pro on the go*) would this pair with dual LG UltraGear 27GP850‘s? Otherwise it’s a solid no lol.
- I’m also wondering why Very already have the new M2, 2022 MacBook Pro on discount £54-£104 off already?
I feel 512GB is needed(?). I plan to do the same thing and try and get 5-7 years out of the unit.
I’m based in the UK so pricing will be GBP. Depending on the model I may benefit from a discount. For example I can get % off Currys (and a few other retailers) vouchers via work rewards program.
Usage case isn’t extremely heavy now I’ve a Gaming PC Ryzen 9 5950X/RTX 3090 for gaming/fun video edits/clips.
It will be more for general usage, web browsing (Chrome’s hungry) and watching Netflix while travelling.* Maybe one day I will try Final Cut Pro for fun.
Any questions fire away!
Thanks.
