Overall, you have some great options if you’re looking for a MacBook on a budget. Both machines are incredibly capable, lightweight and have battery life that remains unsurpassed among their peers.
Of the two, the newer M2 model is the slicker-looking machine thanks to its thinner bezels, but the M1 certainly isn’t ugly as it still has the beautiful all-aluminum design that MacBooks are known for.

Which model does Ny Breaking recommend?
Both the M2 and M1 are older machines now, but they’re still exceptionally capable for most tasks in 2024. The M2 has a slight edge in performance, but the M1 is still great if you know the basics want to cover or just need a solid base work machine.
For us, the M2’s main selling point is its updated design. In particular, the screen has much slimmer bezels, which makes for a much more modern look compared to the slightly dated design of the M1. However, if that isn’t worth $150 to you, the M1’s display is still great for everyday use and content.
