Hello dear community!
Your help has been great when months ago I had to purchase a tablet for work.
Now I want to hear your thoughts about M1 MacBooks.
I have a MacBook Air 2013 (8GB RAM, 128 SSD), bought in 2014. It was revolutionary, and I still love it. My MacBook still works great: I work with basic Office (Word, Excel and Power Point, although with big files), mail, web browsing. I'm a PhD candidate, so I type a lot. When at home, I plug in a 10 year monitor (still VGA), and that's my desk!
However, I fear the lack of major OS upgrades for security reasons. The promise of speed increase and powerful battery life also made their point.
So my question is: would you recommend M1 2020 MacBook Pro or Air? Is the Touch Bar a good tool for Office users? Do you feel comfortable writing in the MB Pro? Would I feel a major impact by replacing a 9 year model by M1?
Thank you!
Rafael
