Of course, if you can increase the storage capacity, you can also get more memory. Doing the latter is essential for juggling tasks. The higher your machine’s RAM allotment is, the more applications you can run at the same time without hassle or a slowdown.
For the more-than-basic laptop user, 8 GB of memory is a good benchmark as it allows you to do some mid-range gaming and an above-average level of photo and video editing. However, if you intend to access graphic-intensive applications and games or have a need for professional-level photo and video processing, you’re better off picking a machine that has at least 16 gigabytes worth of memory.
Best Buy has a Black Friday deal for a 15-inch MacBook Air (M2) with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD for $1,449, a $250 decrease from its typical price of $1,699. For this particular combo, however, only the Midnight colorway is available.
In case you need even more storage space, you can opt for the 16 GB RAM / 1 TB SSD Black Friday combo for $1,649, also $250 off from the standard price of $1,899. With this amount of storage capacity, you can install bigger games and enjoy watching higher resolution videos saved locally on your machine. Again, this deal is only available in the Midnight variety.
