I’m not a computer guru, but have used Mac computers for a very long time. I have a MacBook Air from 2019 that suddenly advised me that I only had a few gigabytes left on the hard drive. I dumped a bunch of things but it was still close to full, and it was telling me that my applications were using over 200 Gigabytes of space than they should have. I searched online for a solution, and found several other people had the same issue with their Mac computer. Their suggestion was wiping the hard drive and installing the operating system all over again. Well, I’m not a tech person, and wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that when I’ve never done it before. I mentioned the problem to my oldest son who is a tech geek and at one time used Apple products. He said it sounded like the hard drive had gotten corrupted somehow. That may be, but I’ll be taking it to the computer shop one of these days to let them figure out what the problem is, and if it isn’t too much money, I’ll have them fix it and keep it for a spare. In the meantime, I bought myself a new 15” MacBook Air.

You blew $1300 to surf the internet. You can buy bulletproof 11 gen intel Dell Latitude for 150 used on Ebay. 16gb ram with 15.6” display. This will surf the internet just as well as your $1300.
I own 3x of the above. I use them 3+ hours daily. I see one on eBay for $101
