I have been planning to buy a Macbook air in august. But recently, I found out that the new Macbook Air M2 is coming out on the first half of 2022. should I wait for the new macbook or should I buy one now? (I use notebook on a daily basis. I currently have one now)
ompff ... that's a hard one.
From an financial POV ... if you'll earn back your money from buying a MBA M1 now in august (until the next one comes out...) ... go for it. It'll increase your productivity and you'll earn back your investment back by doing so ...
... and if you won't earn your money back in increased productivity (read: the computer doesn't generate any money back to you, and are one of those "I just want the latest thing, even though I don't really need it") ... then don't buy one. Save your money for the next generation apple silicon chip ... time flies ... and you'll do a benefit for the environment too ...
(My personal view: I also would like to have a new apple silicon mac ... but I can't really motivate to buy one right now ... since I have a bunch of mac's that I still can be productive with, that I can't really justify to buy another computer. Financially I'm still productive with what I got ... since they aren't that old mac's ... so I can't justify to buy one from an environmental POV either ... I'll wait until it'll make sense to upgrade ...)
cheers.
