Avoid this model (MBA M2 processor 8GB/256) at all costs. Gimped SSD speed due to Apple skimping on parts

If you want a Mac for basic web browsing and productivity apps, you aren't going to notice the reduced bandwidth 256gb SSD. You can't find better for $800.

That being said, trying to find a slightly more future proof 16gb of ram version, and it's insane to me that an extra $200 only gets you the 512gb SSD, keeping the 8gb. Wtf apple.

How often does Amazon have sales on apple laptops?

I'm looking for a 10+ core CPU minimum apple laptop. The M2 Pro, M2 Max (up to 12 cores). M3 Pro (up to 12 cores), M3 Max (up to 16 cores). etc. Does Amazon ever have these on sale?

Amazon will put apple laptops on sale whenever bestbuy and other retailers do, typically every few months.

You are literally the one bringing it up. Go touch grass instead of trying to provoke people on a deal forum.

I have an M1 Mac Mini with 8gb and 256gb that I use for General Surfing, Emails, YouTube, and I even edited a 4k video with footages from 4 devices ( my drone, mirrorless camera ,iphone and insta360) all using an external SSD. Yes, I really wanted to see how far I can push it and surprisingly it handled it just fine, much better than my 2017 Macbook Pro 16gb, because M1 chips were such a significant leap in power and efficiency. So I can tell you for almost 80% of users, this laptop will be enough, despite also agreeing with the fact that how Apple Milks their consumers on Ram and SSD upgrades is borderline criminal.

processor wise they're very close in benchmarks. Not sure if it's worth it (didn't take energy efficiency into account)
