Guest /u/adminamateur Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Hi all! I am running operations at a nonprofit and need advice on a good workplace Mac. I personally use an M1 Mac mini + an M1 iPad Pro 12.9 in and love the setup. I’ve had the iPad since 2021 and the computer since 2023. No issues. I got a MacBook Air 2020 (I think), for work and it was a hand-me-down laptop. I prefer it to the HP I was originally using. The ability to use it with my home Mac and iPad makes everything more efficient. However, I think this is a RAM issue (forgive my lack of knowledge) but it is VERY slow. Running two heavy-lift programs pretty much puts the entire machine at a standstill. It struggles to run Canva (which I use a lot) and any combination of apps with Zoom running. I am looking to get something that works better and can be my machine for a good long while. -Preferably, I’d like something a bit older, like 2022 or 2023 -It needs to be a laptop -I run a lot of Canva -I primarily use google suite through chrome Thoughts? I’m leaning towards a M1 or M2 MacBook Air. Would extra RAM be recommended or will my speed issues be resolved with just the upgrade from the Intel chip be enough?
