Additional Comments:
I’m mainly considering Macbooks to get the whole ‘apple ecosystem’, but I’m not sure if they’re worth the money compared to other brands. Also, are Macbook Air M1s still worth buying in 2024? Or should I just spend £150 more for the M2? I don’t see much of a difference. I’d prefer to spend as little as possible since I’ll likely buy the newest Macbook Pro (at the time) in 2 years when I begin uni.
