I’m looking for a new MacBook Pro since I own an old intel MacBook. I usually use it for large excel spreadsheets and 10-20 chrome windows. So for multitasking and light gaming should I get an M1 Max 10 core CPU 24 core GPU 32gb of RAM or the M3 Pro 12 core CPU 18 core GPU 32gb of RAM? First one is 1700 and the second 2700 so just wondering if the difference in price is worth it and if I want to keep it for 4-5 years. Thanks!

In my use case I use my MBP for office work, some video editing and photo editing, drive a pair of displays at home and work out of a pickup during the day. I had the 10/24/32 M1 Max in a 16". The size was a deal killer. I traded it for a 14" M3 Pro MBP 12/18/18 and have never regretted the decision. Moral of the story, I didn't need as much horse power as I thought, and I really should have spent more time considering the size and weight. Wish I would have originally bought the 14" M1 Pro instead, but super happy with the M3 Pro MBP 14" (and the space black is Cool!)

@visuallyimpairedtechandmor2921 Ай бұрын

I've been debating on getting the MacBook Air or the MacBook pro 16-in. I am leaning towards the air cuz it's cheaper. The 15-in model that is but I also want the M3 pro with a larger display I can use my trade-in. I currently have a Intel Mac 13-in and I've been looking to upgrade it for a while and I really want the 16 in but I didn't want to pay the price. I also want the M3 pro so I feel like the bass 16 in with the 512 storage might be enough, but I feel like I will upgrade the storage to 1 TB. What do you think?

I'm unsure which model to buy, M2 or M3, and whether to get 8GB or 16GB of RAM. My usage mainly involves these apps: Chrome (with around ten tabs open on average), Adobe Illustrator, Notion, Trading View, Mail, Discord, and Office Suite. Occasionally (once a month), I also use Fusion 360 and Counter-Strike. Thank you in advance for your feedback and advice.

Ok so I’m barely scraping by with my 16” Intel MB Pro but I’m itching to upgrade. My workflow would probably be fine with what I’ve got for a little longer (mostly use Microsoft office applications) but it is what I want to do with my MB Pro in my down time that is screaming for an upgrade: movies and games. But I don’t play 1st person shooters anymore. Mostly turn-based strategy (e.g. Colonizing Mars, Civ-6, etc.). I assume that 16” M2 Pro would do the trick but for how long into the future? I’m thinking about buying an M3 Pro after the M4s come out this fall (hopefully get a refurbished one cheap-er). Thoughts?

I recently picked up an open box M3 Pro 14in for about $1500 from Best Buy. It was listed as fair w/major scratches. Upon inspection, there were absolutely no scratches or blemishes. I picked it up and it was totally dead. But after charging I checked the battery and capacity is 100% and it had less than 10 charge cycles. At that price it was a no brainer vs the Air w/16GB and 512GB ssd

I have my MBA M2 15' and I also regret not getting 16RAM. Not because is not working well (not al all, it's awesome), but for its durability I think I might regret it in a few years

Is the 16 inch too big overall and it's better getting the 14 inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro? Also, should I go ford the base 512GB and get an external SSD too, or just get the 1TB storage?

If you’re happy with the performance, keep it for now and wait for M4 chips

which MB with 16gb Ram......basic use only but for long term say 5 years +....?

@MaxTechOfficial Ай бұрын

M3 MBA with 16GB should be fine. If you want the display, speakers and ports, go M3 MBP

Can you make M2 macbook air 16gb ram Vs M3 Macbook air 8gb ram

@zdoubleyou2073 Ай бұрын

14” m3 max 40 core 2TB 64GB RAM. Buy nice or buy twice. This will last me 7-10 years before anything base even comes close

OR you could wait a few more months for the M4 Macbook Pro??

If you can wait until Fall to upgrade, do it

i wouldn't get any with a M3 Pro chip if high performance is important like do audio or graphic. For some unknown reason Apple slowed down the memory bus speed on the M3 Pro chip. So I say go for a Mac with a M3 Max chip if high performance is important.
