is macbook pro m2 (2022) still worth it to buy?
i’m a 3rd year communications and multimedia arts student who’s finally looking to switch to a macbook thats still budget friendly (maybe around 35-45k?).
the only softwares i typically use is photoshop and illustrator, and not even daily, just when i need to. im not too heavy on video editing either.
never had a macbook before but since i have one more year of college left i might as well purchase it now so i could get familiar w it before working.
here are the details of my current laptop:
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.6 GB usable)
Storage 477 GB SSD SAMSUNG MZVL2512HCJQ-00B00
Graphics Card Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (128 MB)
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points
this current one gets the job done, but does tend to lag and freeze if it heats up or if i have too many tabs open. battery life also lasts about 5-6 hours only if continuous.
so while i’m in no rush to upgrade, i do want a macbook that can handle multiple tabs open, my occasional use of adobe apps, has long battery life, and just for long term use really.
i’d love to receive any insights on whether a macbook pro m2 is still worth it for me to purchase, or any macbook recommendations that fits my needs! im not a techhead and dont understand the specs stuff so im seeking help :)) thanks!!
