90K+ Best Value Upgrade from Macbook Air M1 16GB ?

[Crazy_Eddy]

Hi,

If someone has a Macbook Air M1 16GB, what would be the best value upgrade today? (i.e. for roughly the same 1.1 lakh spent on the M1 16GB)

Is more RAM useful or more CPU power?

Thanks!

It would probably be a MacBook Air M2 with 16GB RAM. Even that is not worth spending.

There is no reason for someone to upgrade from that config unless they are getting bottled down in some use case.

And 16GB RAM is a bare minimum even for MacBooks. Don’t know why they are not standard. So more RAM would be better than CPU unless doing some CPU intensive development or creative work like transcoding and movie editing. For graphics intensive and AI kinda workload anyway M series is well equipped.
