Greetings macbook users, lifetime windows user here interested in making a switch.
With no prior macbook experience, I find it very overwhelming trying to understand which model should be the optimal choice for me.
What I need is instant browser responses on demanding websites while keeping 40+ tabs open, ability to power at least 2 external monitors while being as compact and light as possible. High battery life would also be nice.
No video editing or 3D rendering, nothing GPU heavy maybe just the recerational League game.
Not trying to overspend on features I dont need, but want it to be good for couple of years too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
From your description, the base Air would suit you just fine… except for that dual monitor requirement. Driving dual external monitors directly from a MacBook still requires a 14” MacBook with an M-series Pro CPU.
You could get around this by either getting a DisplayLink dock or doing what I would do: just get a single really big monitor. A 32” display is about the same price and area as two 24” displays.
