Which MacBook should I buy? - eviltoast

I work in Marketing and management. My current laptop (2017 MacBook Pro) is dying so I am planning for a new one! Below are my expectations from my new laptop-

-Decent battery
-Can do basic video and graphic editing (nothing high-end editing)
-Shouldn’t cost me too much
-8hrs a day will be usage timing, so will I require fans?

Please help me select a Mac, thanks.

    Seems like the M2 Air should suffice. Get one with 16GB and 512GB of SSD. Total pre-tax should be around $1,499 for the 13-inch model.

    An alternative model is the M1 Prro 14 refurbished. I’ve seen it get as low as 1,330 pre-tax. Comes with a 16/512 configuration as a base model and has a better CPU & iGPU than the M2 Air. The only downside is that it is a little bit heavier, and software updates will stop in 2027.
