I would especially avoid any Intel based Mac as they will not run iPhone apps. I would not bother with the Studio or Mac Pro. If you can wait, then M2 should be better and faster, but availability might be slow. If you need a machine now, there is nothing wrong with pocking up the M1 MBP. I was coming from a 2011 15 inch MBP, so the 14 inch MBP works fine for me. Keep in mind that RAM and SSD are not upgradeable or replaceable. One thing to watch out for is excessive disk swapping to SSD due to only having 8GB of RAM. I opted for the model with 16 GB and 1TB. It will be more for general usage, web browsing ( Chrome's hungry) and watching Netflix while travelling.* Maybe one day I will try Final Cut Pro for fun. Usage case isn't extremely heavy now I've a Gaming PC Ryzen 9 5950X/RTX 3090 for gaming/fun video edits/clips. For example I can get % off Currys (and a few other retailers) vouchers via work rewards program. Depending on the model I may benefit from a discount. I'm based in the UK so pricing will be GBP.

I plan to do the same thing and try and get 5-7 years out of the unit. I'm also wondering why Very already have the new M2, 2022 MacBook Pro on discount £54-£104 off already?.£1,999 (granted no display but if it's a better bang for buck I can use iPad Pro on the go*) would this pair with dual LG UltraGear 27GP850's? Otherwise it's a solid no lol. Bonus: Mac Studio M1 MAX 10 core CPU - 24 core GPU.

MacBook Air with M2 chip (8 core CPU 10 core GPU) for £1,549.00 (already has 512GB) £100 extra.MacBook Air with M2 chip (8core CPU/GPU) for £1,249 adding +£200 for 512GB Storage.

It's now hitting it's age and slow when logging into macOS for example and it will not support macOS Ventura. I'm planning to replace my Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) 2.9Ghz 8 GB memory. New here! Just looking for some advice really.
