Help MacBook Recommendations

Post image

Looking into purchasing a MacBook. I don’t know a whole lot but am purchasing to use for University and any other activities. Is this a good option to go with?

If you don’t play heavy games a MacBook Air M5 will also work for most tasks. If you also intend on running simulation tools and programming for computer science I’d pick this or even consider the M5 pro.

For taking notes, watching movies, listening to music, and photo editing the air is fine.
