Help! I think I made a mistake
Hi all, I could use some help please! I’m trading in my 2020 MacBook Pro and just bought a M4 13 inch air 32GB/1TB for $1840 including tax. (Education discount)
I saw some other comments about those specs being overkill for the Air and the MacBook Pro might be the better choice.
The cheapest 14 inch MacBook Pro with the better M4 pro with 24GB/1TB is $2250 including tax. (Education discount)
36G unified memory is only available for the M4 Max with 32‑core GPU, which is really pricey.
So it came down to this:
MacBook Pro- Apple M4 Pro chip with 12‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine, 24GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage for $2250
Vs
MacBook Air- Apple M4 chip with 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 32GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage for $1840
I want a future proof machine and I use topaz labs products for video/photo editing. I figured the 32GB unified memory is better than 24Gb unified memory with the better M4 pro chip. I can still cancel if you guys feel I made a mistake.
Thank you!!
