What are the key specs of the MacBook Air M2 512GB?
What are the benefits of 512GB SSD in MacBook Air?
How does the M2 chip improve performance?
I messed it up. I wanted a MacBook to edit my videos on DaVinci (4K60fps, some Fusion — not much tho). Late at night, I ordered what I thought was a great deal on Apple refurbished: 13-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip, 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB memory for $709.
I thought it was a great deal because I read Pro instead of Air. But the Apple refurbished Pro is $1199 — out of my budget right now... But I saw Best Buy has cheaper options, just a little concern about quality and care.
It arrived and it looks great, but it’s an Air… and now I’m not sure if it was actually a good deal or if it’ll handle all my media. I’m not a pro at editing but I'm getting a better computer because my last one couldn't handle Davinci. I have an external SSD, and it’s mostly social media stuff — YouTube, short videos, but some freelance work too.
So now I’m thinking about what to do:
EDIT**
Accept and stay with this Apple refurbished MacBook Air with M2 chip, 8-core CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD for $709
Get a Best Buy refurbished MacBook Pro with M2 chip, 10-core CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB memory for $750
What would you do?
Is anyone editing on Macbook Air? Or who got a Refurbished from Best Buy?
Hello! I will be using a macbook for the microsoft office suite, as well as working on teams and the internet. Don't need gaming or anything. I am going between the new M4 macbook air for about €1100 or a refurbished one, from Mac directly, for 900€
Is the new one truly worth the extra 300? I also work a lot with my iPad, if that matters!
