      Ohhh thats a tough one. Haha thats a curved ball. Dude it depends where you are at this stage in your life. From experience in uni, its almost like you gotta rock both devices if you own a macbook. I think Universities tend to stick with windows because of their support with various tools they like to use in order to teach. But after graduation, imo, if you dont need an intel platform, I think the m2 air is the winner. Thats also if you dont care about gaming or game dev.
      Thats just my 2 cents
