Hi, I'm planning to buy my first MacBook and I have a big dilemma about what (new) equipment to buy for 2,5k (in my country it’s price for m3 16gb 512gb). In my case, it looks like this: 85% simple activities - office applications/internet with a large number of open tabs, and 15% editing movies up to 4K, so I would like to buy something that in this situation will not “fall off the bike” and will start to slow down and jam like my current computer.
Initially, I assumed that buying the Air M2 with 16GB would be enough, but then it turned out that it would be nicer to have 512GB and... the price is slowly getting closer to the MacBook pro.
Reading various opinions and reviews, I honestly went in circles from Air M2 8GB 15" to MacBook Pro M3 16GB 512 RAM. I would like to buy something that will simply handle video processing and will be competitive for 5-6 years, but at the same time it will not have potential that I will never use.
I will only add that I am interested in minimum 14 inch and it will be connected to the monitor 32:9 5120 x 1440
Do you have any advice?
