Hi yall. I'm considering to buy a mac. Mainly for PHP development using Docker and technologies around this ecosystem. Nothing too sophisticated, mobile, or stuff like that. I have three main doubts:
The one in the title. What to choose among a M1 processor with 8GB memory ($999 USD), M1 with 16GB ($1199 USD), and a M2 with 8GB ($1099 USD), considering price difference?
Do I have to worry about anything if I use an institutional email to get the $150 USD Apple Educational discount?
I'm a brazilian guy, my father is going to the US, and will bring it for me. Any risk in this regard?
