Bump... Im upgrading from my 2017 air...

Should i go the value play and grab the M1 air for $750 or is this M2 pro worth double the price at $1500?

I'll be doing some light programming along with the basics, (no games or video editing)

depends on your money situation. the M1 air will still be sufficient for most people's usage IMO.

im leaning towards the M2 mostly because of the additional ram

I only buy laptops like every 6-7 years so i dont mind making a good investment.

The chip the only thing holding it down. MacOS is still too limiting and the lack of touchscreen for the price is criminal.

But it serves its purpose:
