Hello, Im looking to buy a macbook.
Which configuration is better?
I need a laptop for casual browsing, netflix, watching live streams on twitch, some school work. I want to be able to have multiple tabs open, keep a few apps running in the background or at the same time without slowing the laptop down. So basically a fast, reliable laptop for the next 4-5 years.
Which one would you choose:
Macbook air 2020 with 10 gen quad core i5 1.1ghz, configuration with 16 gb ram LPDDR4X 3733 MHz, 256gb ssd
Macbook pro 2020 with 8 gen quad core i5 1.4 ghz, 8 gm ram LPDDR3 2133 MHz, 256gb ssd
Price is the same on both.
I dont know much about tech,
could anyone briefly explain the difference between the CPUs and rams, how different those perform, which is better (i5 1.4ghz but 8th gen or i5 1.1ghz 10th gen)?
Also which of these specs is more ‘important’, the size of ram & mhz or cpu?
Would macbook pro still be better with less ram and older cpu?
I dont know much about tech so any help is appreciated
