Which upgrade
So- I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro. The last model with intel i5 , 512 hard drive and 16 gb ram. I use it for work, so writing, emails, MSTeams, searching and singing referencing software EndNote. It works well apart from- screen size is a bit small when writing and reading, Teams will break up when the auto email check happens( I have both Mac mail and outlook) and most galling, EndNote hangs when I’m using it- I click add reference and it just hangs for maybe 10-15 secs.
So I’m thinking of getting a bigger screen and am looking at the Air M2 15inch with 512 hard drive. The question is, do I need to upgrade to 16gb of unified memory? This will realistically be my last opportunity to buy a new MacBook with student discount and am unlikely to use more resource hungry apps in the future.
I could possibly stretch to a 14 inch pro but that might be just overkill
Or should I save my money?
Thoughts please
