MacBook pro M1 or MacBook Air M2? (alien.top)
 

I'm shopping for a new laptop and it seems like both the MacBook Pro M1 and Air M2 are relatively the same price although the pro is a 14" and air is a 15".

I don't plan on doing intensive workload and maybe some video editing or animation / PowerPoint presentation / SW compilation will be the heaviest use I'll put it through.

That said the M1 chip is a few years old now. Would it still be worthwhile for me to get the MacBook Pro M1 anyways despite the fact? I don't really need the latest and greatest.

Is the a good deal? in c/[email protected]

Is a Macbook a good idea for engineering? in c/[email protected]

I took computer engineering as well although it's been like 12 years.... Anyways you'll likely be using Matlab which apparently is pretty well supported. There may be other software tools you need to use but that will generally be tied to specific hardware you won't be able to use other than at the lab anyways such as specific IDE's or FPGA development tools etc.

I wouldn't be too worried too much honestly.
