    Does SSD Storage affects MacBook performance?

    Hi there! I am planning to get a MacBook Pro 14 inch m2. My option is to get a M2 Max, 30 Core with 1tb VS 2TB. Just like what my title says, I’m just wondering if having a 1tb storage VS 2TB would affect the read or write or performance in any sort?

    M1 PRO MBP or M2 MBA?

    So I was looking for MacBooks when I found a good deal on M1P MBP, only 1,299, close to the price of the M2 MBA. I was looking to pick up one for Study, So would you choose M1P MBP over the M2 MBA? I'm pretty sure the MBP is Apple Certified Pre-Owned.
