Ty for taking the time to respond. We take a lot of photos and videos. I just got an iPhone with tb and it didn't make sense to me not to have a laptop with more storage. I was even considering an iPad Pro with keyboard. The Mac I order won't be here for a another week so I have a little time to change my mind. Never had a Mac before.
Why store it locally when you can store it to the cloud? What would you do in a house fire when your phone/laptop melts and all your precious photos are gone? 2TB of iCloud storage is only $9.99/month and can be shared with family.

You're essentially paying $1000 more for a laptop than you need to, which would pay for 8 years of iCloud storage at 2TB. In reality, you would probably only need the 200GB option for $2.99/month, where the break even is 30 years. You can buy a base M1 MacBook Air for $850 (Costco), and put the rest towards iCloud storage.

Yes, because people's houses burn down so often.
Yes, because $9.99/month is super reasonable for cloud storage.

Houses never burn down, that's why you never pay for insurance.

If you can't afford less than ten bucks a month to protect your data, you deserve to lose it. Apple has a free 5GB tier, and a 200GB for $2.99/month. That's less than a meal at McDonalds or a gallon of gas.

That's another $400. I don't think I agree.
1750 - 1600 = 150 not 400

Yup. Unless you can manage to get a 16GB/512GB MBA on sale. Come on, Costco. Help us out.

Quote from applehunter :
The sweet spot for this model seems to be at least 16GB of ram and at least a 512gb SSD. Benchmarks show that an order M1 Air was comparable to the M2 with only 8GB, but with the 16Gb, the M2 really made a difference. Also the 512GB ssd has an extra channel and is faster than the smaller ssd's. The best bang for your buck is a M2 Air with 16gb of ram and at least a 512gb ssd.
What about 512/8? Is there a difference between M1 and M2?

Can education discounts be used on MacBooks?
Yes, on apple's site. Plus you get a $150 gift card - much better deal than Amazon.

Selling an 8/256gb laptop today for 1.1k is the most obnoxious thing ever

Is the educational discount on Apple.com $150 off or a $150 giftcard or both? Used to be $$$ off so they changed it or up the promotion? Thanks

Best thing is seeing the M1 owners upgrade their M1 that does everything to something that does everything.
You mean like people who upgrade their cars because the new model look ever so slight different for extra $20k?

Education store will knock $100 off, then you get (for now) the $150 in gift card.

Unfortunately they never do. I see the 8/512 on sale. But never the 16gb model.
