Hi all,
I recently purchased the following MacBook Air for £1649:
- 13 inch
- M2 chip
- 8-core CPU
- 10-core GPU
- 16-core Neural Engine
- 16GB unified memory
- 512GB SSD storage
This came with the £140 Apple gift card.
I was very close to alternatively purchasing the M3 14 inch MacBook Pro with the exact same spec for £1899. I couldn’t make a decision so I decided to go with the Air given the time-sensitive Black Friday Deal.
I’m now wondering if I made a mistake, given the difference in price isn’t huge (£390 with the gift card factored in).
I don’t want to tip over £2,000 so 16GB is my max for the Pro, which is what put me off as I had read that this wouldn't be enough to 'future-proof' it.
I’m currently on a base model 2019 13 inch Pro FYI, so I'm aware either of these models will be a significant upgrade.
I need to use my laptop for sheets, docs, canva, slack, photoshop, video editing and podcasts/music/youtube. I don’t game.
Any advice for me?
Do I stick with the M2 Air, return it for the M3 Pro or consider something else altogether?
TIA.
