Hi,
I'm looking to purchase s MacBook for my wife and son and am uncertain about which model to choose. Their primary uses would include browsing the internet, using Word, and running AutoCAD for my son's architecture studies, though not at a professional level.

BestBuy is currently offering significant discounts on the MacBook Pro M2, which features a Touch Bar. However, I'm hesitant because of potential issues, and I've noticed that Apple has discontinued the MacBook Air M2 and offering discounts. I'm unsure about the best option and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced a similar decision. I'm tending towards the MBP but that Touch Bar freaks me out. Thanks!
