Air vs PRO (considering non MRSP prices)

[Ctrlos]

I wouldn't have just upgraded my daughter's base M1 if it was nonsense for her. A mix of Chrome being a pig, the sites she visits being wasteful, and her need to keep a whole pile of open tabs make the 8GB M1 choke a bit. It seems like insanity to me too, but I can't change the wastefulness on the web.

You could try running a web browser that isn't an entire virtualised OS though. Chrome is a hog on any system. Arc and Safari are much better.

Got the Air 16/512 for U$2.000!

U$700 cheaper than the MBP
It's the best deal for me.

I'm typing this message on the same machine. Coming from a base M1 MBA, which I LOVED, this config is amazing. Enjoy your great laptop!
