Personally, if you don’t need to upgrade, take that money and get AppleCare+. This is my opinion/recommendation. I just dropped my charging adapter in the water by accident and was sent a new one for free.

Super random, but where did you go?

Realistically, now is the time!! MacAirs are $300 at bestbuy, Apple is giving gift cards and other retailers are offering sales. I highly suggest getting getting AppleCare+ which is another $200+

You can get a 16gb with 512 ssd for $240 more at BestBuy. That’s including 3yr AppleCare +

Also, check your trade in value with them.

You’re welcome!!! Also BestBuy has brand new M2 16gb for $1600. They are back and shipping starts in December.

I also agree with Jon. If you don’t plan on keeping it for a while, the air will be fine. You can’t upgrade the memory, so once you buy it, you’re stuck with it. If you do plan on keeping it for a while, I would just go with the 16/18.

I don’t know if you picked up the Mac yet but Apple is doing something for Black Friday.

Yeah, I just checked before I bought mine, and it seems like there is no BF deal at Apple.
