Hi folks,

I would like to buy a new laptop (I have only ever used Windows). I have been looking at these two models.

APPLE MACBOOK AIR 13" M1 - 8-CORE CPU / 7-CORE GPU, 8GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

1315,00€

APPLE MACBOOK AIR 13" M2 - 8-CORE CPU /8-CORE GPU, 8GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

1406,00€

I will not be cutting 4K videos or doing hardcore editing. I need a computer for simple work office, surfing, watching YT videos etc.

Personally, I would lean towards the older model, but the price difference is really manageable. However, I don't know if it's really worth buying the M2 Air. What are the real performance differences between the two models?

Can you help me, what do you think? Maybe also to those who own both models and have really lived with the laptops.

Thanks in advance.

A good deal with the m1 16gb- definitely. 8gb with that small price jump and all the other benefits- definitely M2
