Entered the university, the question arose about buying a laptop. I will be brief. We needed a laptop up to 40,000 capable of writing abstracts, presentations, a little Pascal. Well, preferably not TN (not critical).
Yes, here. What is better to take, Asus on ryzen with ssd and 8gb of ram, without an OS, or a used 2015 MacBook air with 4gb of ram and core i5?

4GB of RAM is nothing at all, especially since this air is quite ancient
, if you dig a little, you can take this option, much more interesting https://www.citilink.ru/catalog/mobile/notebooks/1...

As I understand ASUS, you are planning a new one, and if the MacBook is a bush one. In the case of the MacBook, it will be 13 screen. For me, this would be the key point (small screen). Further only about the MacBook. By themselves, they are very strong. If the copy was carefully operated at home, then the ventilation system in 2015 will be quite tolerable, nothing will warm up. It is better to demolish the operating system and install it from scratch, because updates are usually rolled up without reinstalling, but this is not true) If you plug an SSD in there and expand the memory, then everything will fly for your needs, otherwise there will be brakes. The new ones seem to have non-removable memory, and in 2015 they still installed ordinary laptop SO-DIMMs, you can also buy bush ones, but it’s better to take a new SSD. But there is a very interesting point, if you take a Mac from a repurchase or, even worse, a repurchase repairman, then it will be collectively repaired after something quite serious laptop. In general, Apple equipment is reliable, but a lot of mechanical damage, screen replacements and other things are very often resold after repair, just like any other. If you have never sat on macOS, do not believe those who say that it is 100 times lighter than conventional Linux and more convenient to handle Windows, this is far from the case, there are a lot of their own features that you will have to learn and get used to. For development, there is also a bunch of questions, I didn’t see any simplicity as everyone writes there. With the console it is necessary for you, as elsewhere. Personally, I would buy any laptop that offers maximum performance for the money and that's it. very often resold after repair, as well as any other.

Raise the operatives to 8, then it will be more interesting. But this is Air and old air. Look at this budget macbook pro 13.
In this scenario, no matter how much I love poppies, asus on ryzen will be faster for normal tasks.

Why not MSI? They have an excellent model for 45, where then at least up to 64GB of RAM you can finish
