So I am going to study computer science next year and I am trying to search for the best macbook I could get(it’s my first ever macbook). I want 16” screen, 16 gb of RAM and 512 GB of SSD preferably. I’m sure for those but I don’t know much about the CPU’s. Is the new M3 chip really worth it for my kind of work(programming, taking notes, watching movies and light gaming like TFT)? I want the laptop to really last as long as possible. So you any of you give me any recommendations?

Step 1) Email or call your college major department to make sure they don't use software that only works on Windows PCs.

Step 2) Performance is fine for any M series pro laptops with 16GB of RAM or more. 14-inch is better if you will be traveling around campus a lot. 16-inch for online only colleges.

Yeah thank you, I will email them. In my country M1 pro 16 gb RAM, 512 GB SSD is going for around 2000 euros, the same things M2 pro goes for 2700 eur and m3 pro goes for around 3000. So if we look at the price which one would be best in your opinion
