Hey everyone, so with black friday coming up I stumbled upon a great deal for a Macbook Air 15.

My main concern is the longevity of this machine, I was looking into the 16-inch Macbook Pro since it’s safe to assume it’ll last you between 6-10 years if you take real good care of it. But I do wonder, with a fanless, thin machine like this one, with those specific specs I mentioned, how long do you think this laptop will last? Important to mention:

I’ll be using the laptop for both personal use and work. I usually run a bunch of Chrome tabs at once, 2 or 3 apps at once running in the background. When doing personal stuff, I’d love to edit vacation family movies, manage my future small business start-up, and travel.

Maaaaybe I install a virtual machine or some ps2-ps3 emulators in the future just for fun or for whenever I travel (I often visit the mountains in France, and villages often don’t have WiFi around).

Anyways, thanks for your time and patience!

    Definitely choose the 16-inch MacBook Pro, it’ll last you longer and it’ll definitely be able to handle video editing way better and easier.
