      Best Buy. I had a ton of offers and points kicking around, but the certified geek squad refurbished models are devoid of defects and battery health equal to new, with the same 1 year warranty honored by Apple themselves. Sweet deals.

      I feel like it really depends on people’s need. I have a 40 gb ram g14 (virtual machines), but a person with money to spend and basic things to do could easily be happy with 8 gb.

      my return on price match period extends through that event on the 30th. If anything changes I can still adjust or if the price drops I can get the difference paid to me.

        I got an M1 Macbook Air for just $700 from Best Buy! Cheapest anybody else had was $900. Loved that thing! Sold it though as I needed cash sadly.

      So there’s a red box in the image. Read the number contained within it and the corresponding text on the left side.

      Read some stuff lol. MacBooks have excellent memory management, and they use swap memory. This is fine as long as your SSD is fast enough and you don’t tax you system with extreme graphics or video editing often. Since I got the 10-core GPU and 512 ssd that means my SSD is twice the speed of the 256 spec which is already fine. This laptop is perfect for me lol. It’s not worth spending on the extra ram AND storage at that +$200 upcharge if you almost never push your system to 100%, And 10-core m2 SoC can do literally everything minus hardcore video editing etc. It’s fine bud.

          Bro relax. He said it’s more than most people need. Of course m2 is better. Besides the fact that it throttles under poor thermal conditions on the air, but it doesn’t pose a problem normally. Ifs better. Calm down.
