Macbook for personal use

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?

I would not recommend you to go for Intel based macs. They heatup a lot and battery life is crap. Only go for one of you can find in 10-20k. I got one in 10k where the screen was a little dim on one corner and one of the key was not working properly.

Stretch your budget a bit and go for an Apple Silicon one. It’s future proof

Do not choose the Intel Macs at all unless it's necessary for your workflow. You'd be so much much better off getting an M series Mac

I am using a 2020 i5 Intel MBP Pro, RAM: 16 GB, it heats up a lot, battery life is crap and is slow after I run a couple of containers, I recently bought a M2 MacBook Air with 8GB memory and that works better than my Intel MBP
