My Mac air M2 2022 16/256gb!🤙🏽

Got my MacBook Air M2 (16GB/256GB) for ~$890 (₹75k INR,on sale) on Jan 18—my birthday!Please ignore the things beside my Mac.It’s my first comp, and I’m not new to Apple since I already own an iPhone(s),iPad and Airpods(OG 2nd Gen and the pros Gen 2) and I’m familiar with how things work.Now, I’ve almost completed the Apple ecosystem loop(next up apple watch), and it feels seamless with features like AirDrop and iPhone mirroring.

I was stuck for months deciding between this and a Windows gaming laptop. As much as I love gaming I needed something reliable for long ass study sessions without constantly worrying about battery life. I’m into technology,the thing is Gaming laptops didn’t fit so I went with the M2 MacBook Air,after sitting on the fence for months.

Unlike Macs, which are cheaper in the USA, they’re not as affordable here (bang for my buck). Let’s forget the generous 256GB(/s) on Mac for a moment—I’m not looking to get a 40-series GPU when NVIDIA just released the 50-series; it’s not future-proof. The M2 is powerful, efficient, and I’m confident it’ll last me 5-6 years. I skipped the M3 because the new M3 silicon with it’s extra bells and whistles weren’t worth the additional $200-300 for me.

The next day, I personalized it with vinyl stickers. Honestly, I don’t care about people judging me for it— it’s meant to be used,not babied.you guys are so dramatic.If you like to stick,go for it(That’s what she said!).Life’s too short to worry about what others think!You can roast me in the comments I don’t mind.

Thanks to everyone here for the advice—I’ve been lurking for months, and you guys really helped with my decision.

Peace ✌🏼!

TL;DR: Got my first MacBook Air M2 (16GB/256GB) for ~$890 (₹75k INR) on my birthday, Jan 18! It’s my first computer, and I’ve now almost completed the Apple ecosystem. After months of deciding, I chose the MacBook Air over a gaming laptop for long ass study sessions and better battery life. Personalized it with vinyl stickers—don’t care what others think. Thanks to everyone for the advice! Next up: Apple Watch to complete the setup. Peace ✌🏼!
