I’m shopping for a new laptop and it seems like both the MacBook Pro M1 and Air M2 are relatively the same price although the pro is a 14" and air is a 15".
I don’t plan on doing intensive workload and maybe some video editing or animation / PowerPoint presentation / SW compilation will be the heaviest use I’ll put it through.
That said the M1 chip is a few years old now. Would it still be worthwhile for me to get the MacBook Pro M1 anyways despite the fact? I don’t really need the latest and greatest.
M1 14”
What does it matter if it’s a bit older than the next gen chip, compared to the better screen (120 vs 60hz), better speakers, chip being more powerful.
m1 14, end of story.
Yea my exact same thoughts! Just wanted to see if there was anything else I’m missing
My M2 Air has only gotten hot once in over a year of use. This seems like a solution in search of a problem. If it could replace fans on more powerful machines so you could have a silent, cool Mwhatever Max or Ultra CPU, that would be really interesting.
Get the M1 MBP! Still a great machine. Going down in laptop history like the legendary ThinkPad T480. Be part of history if it works with your goals.
