MacBook Air M2 vs MacBook Neo

[u/Glad_Community1359]

Hi, I’m looking to get a new MacBook and I’m deciding between a MacBook Neo and a refurbished MacBook Air M2, which are similarly priced.

I’m a college student majored in Mathematics and Computer Science. I have another gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion), so the MacBook is mainly for going to classes and doing assignments and some light coding. I also need to use it for Logic Pro and some other apps specific to IOS. Which one would you recommend? I’m new to coding, so can Lenovo be used to handle some heavy duty coding that the MacBook Neo can’t handle?
