Going to college in the spring to get my bachelor’s in computer science. Obviously need a laptop. So this is obviously my best choice. I was thinking about a 14” M2 max pro. But it’s pretty pricey and I don’t know if it’s worth it. It also apparently throttles. Any suggestions? I like gaming too so it’s be nice if I could do that well.

A M2 Air would probably be sufficient, just get at least 16GB of RAM. Gaming is not great on Macs, even high end ones, use the money saved from buying a Pro Max and use it for Geforce Now, or an Xbox + Gamepass.
