Hello, I need your advice to choose between these 2 laptops, either a 13" M2 MacBook Air with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD or a 15" M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Note that the laptop will be used most of the time with external 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, so the screen size is not a deal-breaker choice. The laptop will be used for productivity, web and social media design (Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, Adobe Express, and productivity tools). Thanks

    Yep, no doubt if there is a new MacBook Air these older models will drop the price fast.

        Not sure why you are being downvoted, you are right. They aren’t gonna release a 15” and then just abandon it right away. Rumors are for the MacBook Pro and the iMac. No new MacBook airs people, do your research.

          While this is true, new MBPs will naturally cause some people to perpetually upgrade.

          This means a glut of used machines inbound, which will deflate the market, and cause Apple to put incentives on other older machines. Like MacBook Air.

          Waiting 30 days for Black Friday could mean really good deals in this scenario.

          Really? Been waiting for dual monitor support on the air or a MacBook pro redesign. Hope it is true!

          Think we might get a redesigned MBP to fit alongside the Air? Not the MBP with the Pro/Max chips but specifically the one that fits right next to the MBA with the Touch Bar and outdated design.

            I have heard that that is a possibility, although I wouldn’t count on it. From an article on Mac rumors, they said a new model number or something was leaked that could be referencing a redesigned base MacBook Pro to replace the dated touchbar one. Another possibility I’ve heard is of a sub $1K MacBook that isn’t a pro obviously but something meant to cost less than the Air while still getting a new MacBook into peoples hands although I doubt it will be ready for this event or even ready for next years event, but we won’t know till it happens.
