Just bought a Macbook Air M2 and looking for antivirus or some sort of protection. i currently use Nord VPN on my old macbook and wondering if there is a better option for VPN as well. Any info would be great

 

Buying a 15” MBA going with 1tb ssd. Is there a need for 24 gb of ram or would 16 be good. Using web browsing, movies and some Civ/minecraft. I have a 2011 and put 1 tb drive in it as photos take up a lot of room. Maybe an external drive is better.

I currently have 2011 MBP and I’m upgrading. It can no longer receive os updates. Things won’t run properly anymore. Have to use chrome as safari won’t load some pages. I’ve upgraded the Ram and hdd to 8 gb and 1tb ssd which is better than stock but it’s difficult some days just to do basic things.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Just want to make sure I’m getting a quality computer for the long haul. Want sure with no fan would it slow down a lot.

Never thought of refurbished ones. Thanks

 

So I currently have a 13” 2011 MacBook Pro, bought new and it’s great. However it’s at the end of its life, no longer update, apps won’t work etc etc. so looking for a replacement, and just about anything new would be a major upgrade. I want more screen space so 15 or 16”, if I get the air I’ll take 16GB Ram and 1tb and 16” 18GB and 1tb. Both with base cores. I don’t do any video editing but do like to play the odd game, watch some movies and of course internet stuff. My old one has lasted a long time so trying to think forward and make sure I have something that will be good down the road. Just not sure if the air or the pro would be best. If anyone has relatable info to help like you own a MacBook Air 15” or 16” m3 pro let me know your thoughts. What you would change etc.
