MacBook Air M1 in 2023

It is available for 65k (8gb/256gb) on Amazon after cash back and there will be further discounts in the coming sale. Is it a good buy in 2023? My usage is mostly browsing, emails, and excel work. My office has PCs and we don’t work remote so I don’t really need it for WFH. Or should I shell out 40k extra and buy MBA M2. Already have iPhone, watch and AirPods. If I want to go for 16gb / 512gb then the difference would be 40k again!

It's very good for your usage. It's good for dev too.

If you mostly use it for these purposes, I would rather recommend you buy an iPad + magic keyboard and trackpad case. You can use it as a laptop during work, use it as an iPad for leisure.

Can you please help breakdown the discounts leading to the 65k price? Genuinely curious and was unable to arrive at that price point, I seem to be missing something for sure.

For your use case the M1 is perfect. Try and get the 512 GB disc - data abounds. 16 GB RAM is a bit of an overkill.

Is the Macbook Air M1 worth is for 59k?

Want a laptop for personal use and entertainment. Personal use would mostly involve working with documents and presentations, maybe some reading and a little but of entertainment. Already have an iPad, but every once in a while I feel like I would need a laptop.
