Looking for new laptop

[pangelpip]

Hi everyone. I am in the market to buy a new laptop and after the frustrations of dealing with a windows, I decided to go back to Apple since every other device is Apple.
I am looking to use it mostly for photo storage and device sync but want the system to run smoothly when multitasking. I have to watch my budget so I wanted to get you opinions first before walking into an Apple store. Am I best off with a MacBook Air or Pro? I don’t need the bells and whistles, just what I mentioned. And what options do you recommend I choose?
Thank you all in advance.

I use a 2015 Macbook (one of the first released in Australia) when travelling and an iMac in the office. I barely notice a difference in performance between the two for word processing, Filemaker database, photos etc. I take an SSD external drive for extra storage.
Although the Macbook is perceived as over-priced its compactness and light weight are big advantages. I recommend that you consider it.

Well you don’t need more ram or A better cpu but you do need storage so i’d Recommend at least 512gb ssd for you.
