Is this a good deal? (www.bestbuy.com)

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help. I’m looking to get a MacBook primarily for work but will want to use it for light recreational use too.

I believe in future proofing as I don’t want to but another device any time soon. I also like the idea of being able to carry it.

This seems like a good deal. It’s between this or the new MacBook pro m3 entry level 14” with 8gb of memory.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

It’s as simple as: What do you want more?

better display and speakers, better cooling system, and better chipset: go for the M3
more ram: go for the air

As for if it’s a good deal? That’s subjective. You can get a refurbished M1 Pro, with better specs, better display, better everything if you can find one. But then not everyone is okay with a refurb device.

Tell me your use case and I’ll give a recommendation.
