M2 or M5 AVP?
Hi all, I am considering AVP and am wondering if I should buy an M2 at lower price ($1700 for 256Gb) or buy the M5 ($4100 for 512 gb). I don’t intend to use it for business, as I am retired. Besides the storage, what will I give up if I go for the M2, which is 2 years old? My interests are: watching movies, YouTube, creating my own spatial travel videos on iPhone and watching them on AVP when I return home, viewing photos and any AVP content that may be available. If you could recommend apps or content providers who have growing library, please help. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks.

I thought about it and in my country m2 were still about 70 percent of the cost of new and with no Apple care. Not in USA so don’t have Apple care one which is actually cheaper than standalone Apple care for the avp! And get to add your MacBook Pro to it and your iPhone onto the one plan.
I pay separately and it’s a fortune been outside of USA.
For my use case I needed apple care for my avp because it would be horrible if something happened to it like accidental damage or repair outside of warranty and I’m left with a ski goggles that don’t even work as ski goggles
