Looking at getting at either:
- MacBook Pro 14" (2021) with a M1 pro 8-core CPU / 14 core GPU, 16GB ram for $1439.
- MacBook Pro 14" (2021) with a M1 pro 10-core CPU / 16 core GPU, 16GB ram for $1549.
- MacBook Air 15" (2023) with a M2 with 8 GB ram for $1100.
For context: I am a student, but I want this computer to last a while since I am in my last year of school. Anything past $1125 is a bit of a stretch, although doable if it is really worth the difference. I also will be doing some light gaming on it, but will not be needing to use it for any video editing or rendering etc.
Thank you for any and all help!
The M2 Air is on sell at Best Buy. $899 for the base
