International worker authorization question: Does BCG accept pending i485 combo EAD card? Pending Green Card based on marriage. Valid for 2 years. My lawyer said i765 + i151 combo card doesn’t need sponsorship and I can work for anyone. Got an offer, now at background check stage. HR seems confused about what is pending i485 EAD and said she needs to check with legal/mobility team. Just want to know if BCG is okay with it. Thank you! Boston Consulting Group

I’m partial to the Pro, but the M2 Air sounds fine for your use case. I’d probably do the 8 core version with 16GB RAM and 512GB HDD.

You would do fine on the air.... Only reason to get the pro would be if you had a regular use case for the additional ports
I have a 16" MBP M1, love it, but I can see how it would be unwieldy and overkill for most people
I have a M1 Air as my work laptop and I don’t think you need a Pro.
MacBook Air for sure 💻
So what I’m hearing is the m2 isn’t worth the $200 more than a 16GB M1 air
My air is a whole unit. It’s been on sleep mode for years now and quality hasn’t been affected.
Is the M2 that superior to the M1? From what I’ve read it may not be worth the extra $

IMO, the M2 Air is worth the upgrade. Slightly better screen, faster performance, higher memory bandwidth, significantly better webcam/mic/speakers, and (subjectively) a nicer form factor.
Another vote for the Air
I personally prefer the Pro. Every person I know who has the Air had problems and had to replace their laptop within 3-4 years
You’re probably taking about older Intel based MB Airs.
I went from the 2015 Pro (considered one of the best models of the Pro) to an M1 Air. My Air blows it out of the water completely. It's crazy fast and is more than powerful enough to use casually. No regrets. M1 Pro is just not necessary for the average person.
used to have an older MBP and the new air is great (M1 chip). I’d recommend upgrading to 16GB ram to future proof.
And one thing to keep in mind, the air only supports one external screen.
Didn’t know that. Thank you.
Thermals are garbage on MacBook Air (in case you ever want to push it) but for your use case the MacBook Air sounds like the right approach. Hell even an Ipad Pro
It’s a rare year that the Air is better then the Pro for the new laptops. Check out MBKHD on YouTube. Best tech reviewer out there.
