Hey guys I’m just making a decision here not sure what’s the best deal.

The MacBook Pro M2 (certified refurbished from Apple) is $1,299 CAD 8 core CPU and 10 core gpu

The MacBook Air M1 is $1,089 CAD (brand new with the gift card promo)

The MacBook Air M2 is $1,204 CAD (with the promo aswell)

I’ll be using the laptop for school work/personal things. Just want to know from your guys experience what should I do?

P.S I’m looking at 8 GB ram so all the above is that. Considering I will only use it for school work/shows and movies I thought that would be enough, please let me know!

What kind of work? I ask because it may shift my recommendations.

For professional programers or video editors, go with the refurbished M2 Pro.

For basic office work, go with the M2 Air and increase the RAM to 16GB.

8G of ram is plenty for what he'll be using it for, no need for 16G if he won't be doing video editing.

But 16 GB future proofs his laptop and extends it's lifespan.
