I would say the Base M2 Air I think it is 750$ right now on Best Buy.

That said if the Budget is Higher and you want to future proof as long as possible than I recommend you telling your Folks about the Newly Released M3 MacBook Pro since you can see some Real Performance Jump between the base Models on the M3s Favor.

I personally have the M3 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black and I love it. They are Amazing Device.

Not to mention all the M3 MacBooks have the same screen which gives you 120Hz Pro Motion, 600 Sustained Brightness SDR, 1,000 Sustained Brightness on HDR and 1,600 Peak on HDR, not to mention it is Mini-LED.

It will definitely be a Big Difference between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in Performance, Screen, Speakers and Storage.

If I where you I would talk to your Parents and show them 2 options.

1 the M3 Base Model that will still be a lot better than the M1/2 Air and the other one of the latter.

Tell them that one is a lot better will last longer and has more potential for school etc. Than offer Them the other choice.

I hope than you guys can talk it out and see what is best, based on your and there thoughts.
