I am going to be purchasing a MacBook in January and have pretty much decided on the 13in Air but do you really need 16GB of ram? It will be used for School Work, Gaming and Photo editing.

Tech enthusiast here and I can say for regular/light use. The base configuration works just great.

I have a souped up pc at home and a light macbook air for classes.

I rarely use my PC because the M2 air works great for most of my uses.

Also, M3 macbooks are coming out in a week. I suggest waiting for those to release so you can get a better price on the M2 air.
