I’m finally ready to buy my first MacBook, and I’m torn between two options: the MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 (2022) or the MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 with 16GB RAM.

im lookin for the future i know the M4 are coming out but max is 1500€

The new  M chips are great as many were claim there is not a difference between them as speed and performance .

My MacBook Air M1 2020 8GB does everything internet and graphic design wise without a spinning ball or stutter.
as my MacBook Pro 2012 i7 intel as well.

get which ever MacBook fits your budget since they prob wont obsolete on a long time.

Thank you for ur fast reply!! I’m planning to use programs like CLO 3D, Photoshop, and Blender etc. so I need a MacBook that can handle these tasks. I just found a used MacBook Pro 13 M1 with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage in great condition just for 1100€, and now I’m seriously considering buying it.

Whenever you buy a used, Apple Silicon MacBook ensure that it’s not activation locked. If it is, it’ll work till whenever and then it will be completely locked and worthless.
