So far all I’ve done is update to the latest software and browsed safari, watched YouTube, play Raid Shadow Legends and listened to music. Does it all smoothly and I’m impressed how quick everything opens.

However at the back of my mind I’m wondering if I should send it back and spend a bit more for the 512gb model as someone posted on here it’s 50% faster despite no intentions of moving large files. Alternatively for the same price as the 512gb option I can get an M2 MacBook Pro 13” with the Touch Bar - however from what I can see it’s the exact same CPU with worse screen, display area and webcam but does have cooling.

Or should I just be happy with what I have?

I’m paying monthly as it’s like a mobile contract interest free and have about 4 weeks to return it if I change my mind. The other 2 options are an extra £5-6 a month over 4 years (though I get to upgrade for free after 3)

Will the 512gb model make a significant difference to daily basic use for things like web browsing, photography, very light gaming (App Store not your AAA games - those days are long gone), video streaming etc

Oh and lastly sorry - today the brightness is going crazy where it’s dimming all the way to 0. I up it back to 50% and after a minute or so it goes back to 0. It’s just on the bed as you see in the picture so not bright or dark here.

Thank you :)

I also have the same model in Starlight and I'm really liking it, especially paired with an iPad 9th gen so I have dual screens for school...it's a great combo
