A bit misleading. 8GB compared to what version 16GB of RAM? DDR5, DDR 4, or DDR3. Apple themselves use LPDDR5 that produces 6,400 mhz with their M series CPUs.

From a power standpoint DDR5 is close enough to LPDDR5 to make that claim false. DDR4 and previous versions makes that claim true from a power standpoint, but Apple was using previous version when released in those years too. Nearly all 2023 released PC laptops are using DDR5 RAM chips.

It also depends on the version and power of your RAM. DDR5 > DDR4 > DDR3.

Power levels in mhz: DDR5 5200 mhz

LPDDR5 6400 mhz

Excessive chrome tabs = upgrade the RAM. 16GB or more.

My wild guess, either early January or in May/June to capture high school kids heading to college.

Wait for the M3. From graphics to battery life, it's a great product. The base M3 is nearly on par with the M1 Pro for CPU performance. Also, no SSD issue this time.

M3 Pro MBP 14-inch for performance power, or M2 Pro 14-inch to save money. No in-between.

The M3 Pro MBP. You only need the max for extreme video editing, Machine Learning, or 3D rendering.

If it will increase your income, go with the M3. Otherwise, save money with the M2. Both are premium products.
