Going to college in the spring to get my bachelor’s in computer science. Obviously need a laptop. So this is obviously my best choice. I was thinking about a 14” M2 max pro. But it’s pretty pricey and I don’t know if it’s worth it. It also apparently throttles. Any suggestions? I like gaming too so it’s be nice if I could do that well.

    Long time software engineer here - the 15” Air is perfect for you. 16GB RAM will get you through your degree, but you’d benefit from 24GB if you started tinkering on your own.

    For the laptop to throttle it would have to be under constant load, which as a computer science major, you will not be doing to it.
