Need Advice on Comparing MacBooks for My Purposes
Hi there,
I am trying to compare and see which laptop might be the better of the two for my purposes, or if neither of these would cut it. The reason I ask is that I am currently using a 2018 MacBook Air which often feels bogged down and slow, but I may have access to a 2020 MacBook Air. I'm just not sure if moving to the 2020 will be better, worse, or no difference.
Here are the specs for each:
My current 2018:
MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)
1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
16 GB 2133 MHz
Intel UHD Graphics 617
256GB Flash Storage (half of this is free)
The 2020:
Apple M1
8G GB Memory
500GB Flash Storage
My typical work day includes having a number of browser windows open at a time (10+) as well as a few applications. I do a lot of image editing with photoshop, the occasional video edit, and a lot of web editing in Shopify. Any advice is appreciated!
