Hey there,

Do redirect me to the right sub if this is not the right place.

My budget is between 30-35k.

I have looked for a second-hand Macbook Air M1 on Cashify it’s not available. I tried Olx/Facebook marketplace and the condition is really bad wrt battery cycles or else charger is unavailable or invoice isn’t there which makes it also seem like a scam.

Kindly do recommend any other physical/digital locations to buy from which are reliable.

Or else recommend a suitable new windows laptop for the following requirements:

  1. Programming with VS code. I mostly use Lightning AI or Claude code but sometimes also make use of VS code locally.

  2. Browsing. I have a habit of entering internet rabbit holes and keeping 15-20 tabs open at once.

  3. Storage for my photography dump. I understand External hard disks exist but sometimes a whole dump is 100s of GBs even to transfer it requires space on the laptop.

  4. Travel friendly (Lightweight) as I travel almost every week.

My price point still remains same 30-35k.

Appreciate you taking the time to read and respond!

TIA!
