1650EUR for a laptop that won't have enough ram to run the browser in two years.

On what do you make that prediction?

My 12-year-old MacBook Air runs Safari fine. I used it just this past weekend.

I don't think an M2 is going to be unusable in 2025.

Came here to post the same. My 2013 MBA 8gb runs vscode + 100 firefox tabs ‘just fine’. Compiling takes ages though compared to a modern affordable non-apple laptop. But here in Europa the alternatives aren’t as affordable either anymore.
