I’d spend the extra $100 on Amazon for the M4 model at that point.

A 13", 16/256, M4 is available at BestBuy for $749. I can't imagine saving $100 and losing two generations of chip.

the M4 at $749 is a much better deal especially if you have a best buy card, they are doing 24 months no interest ($31/month) - the m2 doesn't qualify for that.

I can't imagine trying to manage on a 256gb laptop. On a phone? No problem, but a computer would be difficult.

I’ve had one of these since it was launched in late 2022 and am quite satisfied with it (I went for the biggest memory, 32 GB, and storage, 2TB, options to future proof it.)

But I don’t think this is a reasonable discount on a 3 year old processor with tiny storage.

It’s insane they even sell computers with that low of storage in 2025. Pretty sure my MacBook in 2005 had 512 at least.
