"I stand by the 2014 macbook pro 13" as the most reliable model I've ever used."
"2020 MacBook Pro with Scissor keys - those are awesome and the best intel mac you can get, bar none."
"That M1 will last you a much longer time than the $400 Intel Mac."
"Don't get one with an Intel processor, an M1 or newer will be significantly better than any of the i7 models."
"You can buy a used M1 MacBook Air on eBay for $300-400, which is a vastly better machine than an i7."
"I still have my base model Air and it’s brilliant."
"Any M-series MacBook with 16gb of ram."
"16 gb ram MacBook Air m1. I know there is used one in that price like 430-500. Get more storage."
"I have a 2022 MacBook Air with an M2 chip. I use logic almost every time I open it up and I’ve never once had an issue."
"I can't believe how well my 2020 M1 (bought used, 16GB/1Tb) runs."
