Honestly, haven’t had any issues with the M2 air, can handle most loads nicely. 
 Fan is only helpful if you’re building more locally, thanks to cloud builds, hardly get the cpu stressed. 
  
 However more memory is always good, opt for the 16 gigs at least

I have burnt my fingers with MBA in the past. They work fine for 2-3 years but aren’t anywhere close to MBP on terms of durability. MBPs are the real deal(lasts for 4-5 years).

Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro- Grapevine

Hi All,

Looking to buy a laptop to dive deep into full stack development - java, spring, queue,  cache, db etc, along with light react js. 
Will set up distributed components in local and/ or free tier AWS as well.
Also, consume Netflix content over weekends.

Considering laptops with 16gb ram, 512 SSD -
1. Mac mini 1.3 lacs or
2. Dell/HP/MSI with Linux- 1 -1.2 lac or
3. Mac Book Pro M2 - 2 lacs/2.5 lacs

With office mac Book Pro, the experience has been super smooth, but I am looking to get the most value on investment , and do not want to compromise on dev productivity.

Any suggestions folks? Those who have done similar work and have had a smooth experience, please share your experience.

Thanks.

Laptop for personal projects.

For software engineers, what has your experience been in working with either the Macbook M2 Pro or the 16 GB Macbook M2 Air? Any pros or cons I should consider before purchasing?

Mac M2 Pro vs 16 GB Mac M2 Air

I'm confused between buying a MacBook Air M2 13", MacBook Pro M1, Macbook Air M2 15" (which just launched a few hours ago) or simply HP Pavilion, Lenovo ThinkPad, Asus Vivobook kind of 70K ish windows laptops.
I know Macbooks deliver way better battery and screen. But I'm wondering if it is worth investing 1.5L?
I would appreciate your opinion.

Should I buy 1.5L MacBook or buy a 70K Windows laptop?

I currently use a Windows laptop dual boot with Ubuntu. I use windows only and only for gaming, which I haven't done for 6 months cuz I don't find the time anymore with work and few other hobbies (reading mainly). I also sometimes love to fiddle around on Photoshop, premiere pro etc.

Thinking of buying a new laptop sometime soon. Since I haven't been finding the time to game anyways, I was thinking should I just buy a MacBook then? People say it's better for developers and it definitely has a classy vibe and sexy sleek look windows, especially gaming laptops, lack. I have heard photoshop and premiere pro cracks are available on Mac too. Battery life is also so much better.

I see 2 disadvantages though, because of which I'm unable to decide.

What if I do start finding time to game again? I was thinking in that case I could keep upgrading my present gaming laptop as it is still pretty good. Is that feasible solution? Or maybe if earn more, keep another laptop dedicated to gaming. I don't game often, but whenever something like control elden ring etc comes out, I do play and finish over a period of time.

Is Mac as customisable as Linux? I'm no arch level customizer btw, just usual ubuntu lover, so weigh accordingly.

Should I buy a Windows (I'll dual boot with Linux) or Macbook?

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.
The laptop provided by the company is strictly monitored (we work with US medical data, so have to follow very strict conpliances)

Is the Macbook Air M1 worth is for 59k?

Machine Learning Engineer

Hello everyone
I am planning to buy a MacBook for my personal use budget is ~1L. 
I have a few options:
1: Macbook pro 2019 i7 16/512 ~ 45-50k (refurbished)
2: Macbook air M1 16/255 ~1.2L (over budget)

Will the 2019 i7 macbook pros survive for the next 3-4 years? Or should I increase my budget and go for m1/m2?
