Since Apple doesn't have a stock/retail configuration with 16GB for the MBA (it is all considered BTO even if some Apple Stores do stock additional configurations) we won't get great deals on them because retailers like BestBuy, Amazon and Costco can't even carry them. Best bet is B&H, Adorama who can order BTO and does slightly discount, or Refurb Apple Store.

Yes.

I have the base Mac mini m1 with 8gb. I run dozens of browser tabs on it without it breaking a sweat. It can generate AI images locally (about 2 minutes per 512x512 image). I was very skeptical of Apple's move away from Intel but they hit it out of the park with these.

I currently have an M1 MacBook Air base, would it be worth upgrading to the M2?

Only in exactly one usage scenario, which is rare:

You need the ProRes encode/decode engine, which exists on the M2 (low-end and high end) chips but not the low end M1 chips (it does exist on the higher end M1 Pro ++ chips).

Almost anyone in this circumstance would've just bought the M1 Pro to begin with, not an Air.

Would have to see if this can handle Lightroom tasks. I have a 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro but these m2 processors are fantastic. Debating this deal vs the Apple deal at 1000 with 150 gift card
It will DESTROY your 2019 MacBook Pro, prepare to be amazed

I just bought
M2 Open Box Fair, what do you guys think? Does it come with the warranty, I bought it through Amex platinum, so it adds another year of warranty.

I'm seriously considering buying this as my personal laptop, and I usually keep my personal laptops for around 5 years. Will 8GB RAM be enough in the long run? I'm not really willing to go over $1000, unless there's some insane killer deal (which doesn't happen, in typical Apple fashion)
