It is… Apple Pencil Pro is given. It deducts $179 off

Discount for Apple Pencil Pro is applied during checkout. Still worth it i think.

Thinking of buying a Mac mini

Just for usually home stuff

Like backup photos from my iPhone to hard disk and etc

Or should I stick to windows laptop?

Using the education savings

Macbook Air M2 8GB Ram 512 GB SSD $1559
Macbook Air M3 8GB Ram 512 GB SSD $1749 (+190)

Is it worth paying the $190 for the latest version or use the amount to subsize a 8GB ram increase for the M2 version (+270 for 16GB ram)

Using for daily surfing, light excel work and streaming videos

i would say go for more RAM. your usage, i don't think M3 would be too significant.

If use for hwz M2 is sufficient

Safe the upgrading to 16gb also too, as MacOS optimises well

Though I prefer more ram

You need to buy accessors too like usb hub and what have you

Yeah I'm not sure I need 16gb but just thought I should future proof

What’s your profile like?

For me I am a media person so more ram better for me

If you foresee yourself taking photos, going holidays and making video compilations, you might consider that extra 8gB

For back to school promo, there an option to add Final Cut Pro and other editing software for $300

I am tempted

M3 if you want

- the fastest chip currently available ( although M4 is round the corner there is always something better at the horizon ) for graphics and video editing work, though the performance is not earth shattering over M2.

- Better noise cancellation / voice capture

- Less power hungry, hence laptop can last longer per charge.

- Dual monitor setup


For light usage, M2 and M3 virtually no difference, I would love to add more RAM though, but if you need dual monitor setup, you need to seriously consider M3.

Honestly I don't forsee myself taking out my laptop much other than the occasional trips (less than 4 times a year). Because of this I have also been considering Mac mini

 

[Euqorab]

Mac mini also in my consideration

I am a new macos user

for backup only u do not need mac mini rite? unless u are still using iphone 14 pro series and older... else 15 pro series and above already supports usb-c 10Gbps usb 3.0 data transfer...

even windows PC can do the same job...

i personally prefer to DIY windows PC.... i DIY a PC in may 2024 with 3 sided glasses case, damn nice... looks like 3 sea views condo...
