Hello Guys,

I'd appreciate your help to decide between 3 models *used* Macbooks.

The main work involves office tasks like emails , internet browsing, Excel , Presentations, ChatGPT, Stock market and a bit of YouTube.

From a posts I've read on Reddit, it seems that the battery life of Macbook pro 14 M2 is slightly weaker than the Macbook Air M2.

However, during heavy work, the Macbook Air M2 heats up a bit more because it lacks a fan compared to the Macbook Pro 12 M2, Which can handle multitasking.

Any input would be helpful.

Thank you.

Macbook Air M2 13.6 with upgrade to 8 core CPU & 10 GPU 512GB SSD Storage, 16GB

Or

Macbook Pro 14 M1 with Chip 8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 512GB SSD Storage, 16GB

Or

Macbook Pro 14 M2 with Chip 10-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 512GB SSD Storage, 16GB

If m2 air and m1 pro are available at similar price point then you should go with pro as it has a better screen, better port selection and more powerful gpu for intensive tasks.
