Hey guys.. i’ve been not keeping up with mac or other brand laptops for many years, my 15” macbook pro has serve me very long.. but its due time for a major upgrade.. i’ve been looking for verious brands, initially thought that i might find something better elsewhere... but then again i started to read about praises on the M1 apple chip.. so, please advise me on few questions below. But first, i’m going to spec to highest end laptop possible, with budget cap up to RM15k.
1. Is the M1 macbook a big deal? Is there any other powerful laptop brand to compete this within my budget?
2. Between M1 and i9 macbook pro (top spec) which one to go?
3. I realize macbook air now having similar spec to macbook pro.. how to even choose between them? If macbook air is as powerful as the pro, then the air is a better choice because its lighter and more portable?
Any advise will be appreciated and thanks in advance
I would personally go for the m1 and wouldnt spend more than rm7k for the custom spec macbook pro m1...
Which means 16gb/512gb is sufficient
The fan in the macbook pro only turns on occasionally for the m1... It is really cool....
Since the air and pro is only 1.2k difference, why don't just go for the pro, screen also brighter
