M2 chip question

nobrandlogo Said:

"M2 chip question: I need a new Mac. I would like to have abode creative cloud apps, MS Office and Final Cut Pro on this new Mac that I need to have for the next 7 to 10 years. Can I achieve this on a new Mac with the M2 chip if I can’t afford a M2 Pro/Max chip?"

Downloading Software:

Look up the software requirements, and make sure all is met. For MS Office, there is the annual subscription (Office 365), and there is the one-time purchase. You need to get the version that is compatible with your macOS). For your Mac, you'll need the 64-bit version --not the 32-bit version.

“Ok cool. Need a 64 bit version of MS Office and a lot memory on the new Mac. I going to make my budget between $2,800 to $3,800 overall for everything.“

Based On Personal Experience:

👍Sounds like a plan! It might be wise to consider getting an AppleCare+ coverage on this. I all ways do for high-priced Apple items. And doing so has always proved crucial. My 2017 MacBook Pro’s screen went dead. And, being the screen was replaced 11 times and that I was patient with services, I was granted a free upgrade to a $5K Mac.

"So I would need 64gb of memory on this new Mac?"

No. 64-bit versions of this software. Apple made macOS 64-bit only, when macOS 10.15 Catalina was made available. RAM would play an important role of this too --I'd presume 8GB or RAM would be reburied.

You are welcome.
