Ok guys, then you are probably recommending… Apple M2 chip with 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine, and the 16GB unified memory? 512mb ssd. Sheesh, this is $1599! Thank goodness, I have my current model to trade in. They will give me $440 for it. This really better stop the not res

Hi all, I was just doing a little more reading on MacBook Air M2, and a buying guide suggests upgrading to a 16 gig memory isn’t necessary for the average user. What are your thoughts on this? My MacBook Air from 2011 lasted me ten years, before I considered buying new. This 2020 model I am usi
