I own a 13-inch MacBook M1 Max (10C, 32C GPU) 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD. I never use it. I bought it in late 2021 and the AppleCare "expires" at the end of 2024 (I'd like to continue paying monthly if this is feasable?).
My question here is I could trade this in and fund buying my oldest who just graduated high school a 13-inch MacBook Air. It doesn't cover the cost but would be a hundred or two difference... OR I got to thinking why don't I wipe this MBP and gift it to them. They'd have a kick ass laptop (I'm not sure how the M3 in the Air compares to the M1 Max?), but I don't see much demand outside of Office apps and YouTube
Bad idea? Funding isn't the concern. I don't want to trade in a bad ass laptop only to get something newer, but isn't "as good".
The laptop has never left the house - I bought it when I thought I'd be doing all my work remote, instead work supplied me an Apple Studio (desktop)!
