how long did you have this early 2015 for? since new?
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
I mean if you need a laptop I would say its worth the upgrade and I doubt you could get a better laptop at the price of a m1 MacBook Air (around 800 usd).
if money is tight, you can't go wrong with a m1 MacBook Air.
if you take good care of it, it will last you at the very least 4-5 years, but if a MacBook Air is out of your budget any 500-400 usd laptop should work fine for school stuff, but no so sure about the video editing and Lightroom.
Since you were doing well with the 2015 pro for this much time you should definitely get an M2 air. I think it’ll keep up for almost decade for someone like you. But a 2019 i7 would be a great choice as well although I’d suggest an apple silicone computer (late 2020 or later)
I’d go for a M1 Pro 14 they are about 1200 at microcenter rn and are great value being barely any major difference between it and the new pro chips.
Fuck all bro, literally any laptop that apple sells is worth upgrading to from a 2015 Macbook
For what your going to buy a used one for it’s best to just buy a late 2020 or newer with the M chips.
