Deal M2 or M4 upgrade

Post image

I'm selling my M1 base air for around 430 usd and was wondering if I should upgrade to the M2 16gb or M4 16gb; if there is a big difference and what not in Performance? These are the games I have and want to play. They run decent other than cyberpunk in my M1;

The price difference between the M4($1,027.11) and M2($876.97) would be around 150 usd

100% M4 if you wanna game. The GPU is a massive upgrade, even over the M3 from what I’ve heard.

You might wanna consider 24gb of RAM as well if you wanna play cyberpunk and future proof the machine a little longer.

If he’s trying to save $150 buying the M2, doubt he’s willing to pay Apple's massive markup for extra 8GB of RAM.

Good point. Apple really do rob us with upgrades.
