A:AnswerThe M2 certainly provides enhanced processing speed especially when paired with 16GB RAM. I would say it depends on what you are using the MacBook for. If you intend to use it for every day tasks such as Microsoft Office applications, internet browsing, streaming, etc. then the 8GB RAM should be sufficient enough.
If you intend to do a little more such as video editing, photo editing, or any substantial rendering then I would recommend the M2 with 16GB RAM. Any professional video editing software, photo editing software, or other advanced software, I would look into the M2 Pro editions.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerWhen it comes to higher configurations, you must buy directly from Apple. This is not just at Best Buy but most other licensed Apple retailers.
A:AnswerThe answer to your question can be very subjective. For example, if you are upgrading from a previous MacBook Air with an intel chip, this new model will be a MASSIVE upgrade. This new model should last for several years, regardless of what you may use it for. (Causal, work, content creation, etc).
A:AnswerIf you check under the “payment options” of any of the new MacBook Air pages, you should see a box that says “ Save when you trade-in a similar device.”. Click that to see what value you may receive towards a new MacBook Air.
A:AnswerHello!
Yes it has internal speakers, which at first, there seems to be non (as most times they are easy to note with small holes up and down or vertically across (this is in reference to most PC laptop models ive seen).
But don't fret, it has speakers and a headphone jack 3.5mm on the side (right hand top).
I hope this helped you in clarifying your question as well as clearly answering it.
Kindly,
Will
A:AnswerIt’s still the same, the only real difference is it’s bigger, has better speakers, and the base model has 2 extra gpu cores(8 on the base 13” model vs 10 on the base 15” model)
A:AnswerNo the MacBook has a few usb c ports and a newer MagSafe port. Laptop can be charged via usb c as well. Use a decent hub for any extra accessories
A:AnswerThis device can charge using usb-c or apple's MagSafe charger that comes in the box. I do not recommend charging using the usb-c port since there are only two available for use.
A:AnswerThe Apple setup process offers to transfer files from your old computer to the new MacBook Air. You have to install a transfer support program on the old computer and then connect the two systems to the same WiFi network. You then select what to transfer.
Since my important files are already on Google drive and/or MS One Drive, I skipped that step in the Apple setup and then installed the software to mount those drives as network locations.
