      @chaitanya-iq7kk i bought the base model . Honestly if you wanna buy it for coding, then Go for 16gb Ram variant. As I own two laptops, one Mac and one windows. The 8gb variant in M1 is just not enough for coding especially when you gonna run docker containers and stuff. 16gb would be good though

      Depends on your use case. Unless you are a heavy user (e.g video editor) the M2 with higher RAM will be a better device. If money isn’t a constraint, you can get the M3 with the 512 and think of the extra amount as an investment that is spread over the 3-5 years you will use the laptop at least. Hope this helps!

      For very very heavy editing and large exports - I'd actually get a pro or a given it's fan cooled and can deal with sustained workloads. But for most editing - an M2 or even an M1 works great - which is the budget option. (If it helps, MKBHD does his editing on the go on an M2 Air:). Good luck!

    I wanted to buy a MacBook for MBA studies and future uses.

    Also I am a bit worried about 8gb ram being bottleneck in coming years, as my windows laptop is almost consuming 8gb ram.
    My budget is flexible.
    Which one should i get considering future proofing and maybe later years doing some video editing and photo editing.

      It’s slower, but not unusable. If you do some heavy multi tasking (compiling, exporting etc) then the swap memory will be slower. But for everyday tasks and basic file transfers sometimes - it’s not a big deal. Created tech has a great video on this specific issue you can check out if helpful

    • @akshay.goenka
      @akshay.goenka  6 місяців тому

      Depends on your budget really. M1 is a great deal in 2024 - see my full video on it if needed. Only downside really is slightly older wedge shape design (which is pretty iconic - I still miss it), and it will not get OS updated after 3-4 years - which is pretty long.If you have a higher budget - spec up the M2 - that’s even more future proofed

      If you are very budget conscious the M1 is still a great choice while stocks last (see my full video if helpful). However the main considering is it may have
      3-4 years of updates to the OS left (which is not a massive deal - all your stuff will still work for a few years beyond that!). If you can spare a bit more - get the M2 with higher SSD/RAM vs getting the M3.

      @@ishaanshrikantkulkarni4660 I see. But can you help me understand, if you are getting the same specs for the same price - then why consider windows? Was there something lacking in your experience with the Macbook? Overall I'd say that for you, the HP Omen 16 would be a better gaming laptop, have old USB A ports for compatibility, and you'll probably be able to spec it up more on a RAM/SSD basis. If you use excel or any windows based applications - it will be a better experience. However, the Macbook Air would be a great choice for portability, all day battery and good integration with your other apple products. Both would do a good job with development, but a mac has generally been a favoured developer laptop as I'm sure you know. It comes down to your past experience with the mac - if it was good, and you aren't a big gamer - stick with it! If you are, you can consider switching :)

      I’d wait. The spec upgrades will be more valuable than the processors upgrade. However the base model with 256 GB SSD has only one module - so can be a bit slow for data transfers on the physical hard drive. If you mostly work online and on the cloud then no issue. Else would upgrade your M2 spec to 512GB SSD
