Ya I ended up getting a M3 Pro 16' w/ 36gb of ram and it works pretty good for everything that I want. I'm now looking at moving away from lightroom and in the next few weeks I will pay the outright cost to go over to Photomator as I was able to test that out for a week and it has everything that I want out of a editing software. I rarely use photoshop itself unless I'm doing something very specific but they have pixelmator which can do that stuff which is the big thing. Now I came from a gaming laptop that was hooked into my proart display, so going from PC to Mac was interesting to say the least not so much the learning curve that was easy but all the things I couldn't install haha. Otherwise the speakers and display have been nothing short of amazing and even the keyboard feels pretty good tbh.
I just bought a fully loaded 15 inch m3 MacBook Air yesterday for college! I don’t regret spending 2k one bit cause it’s future proof and same can be said for the m2
Just upgraded my 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro to an M1 Pro 14-inch 10CPU/16GPU 1TB. I love it, the game changer for me is the fan noise. As a music producer the fan noise of the Intel Mac was a real issue when recording instruments because it would get picked up by the microphone. I skipped the Touch Bar generation entirely, although I feel like the 2019 i9 models are good, except for the fan noise.
For years I had used a 2015 5K iMac and late last year I upgraded to an M1 MacBook Air. Everything and I mean everything was faster! So impressive how far Apple silicon has made the Mac come.
I jumped from a 13" Hackintosh to a 16" MacBook Pro, I decided to get the M3 just because a local shop had a good deal on it. It was truly a night and day difference.
M2 16gb, you will thank yourself a lot for giving yourself more RAM. M2 vs M3 there's no real difference, even M1 vs M3 is little to no difference. If you are using the Macbook for professional work I would try to get a MBP M2 though, the fans help a lot. Also recommend a 512gb/16gb config no matter what you're doing but 256gb/16gb MBA M2 should be more than okay for stuff like light gaming, browsing and video consumption. If you really need it you can just get an external drive/SSD to store stuff.
Thank you for watching❤ Let me know if you've upgraded to an Apple Silicon Mac yet! ⬇

@@dakunclear Welcome to the Mac world my friend!

Definitely future proof for years to come!
What specs did you load that 15 inch Air with?👀
@@MatthewPCLO 21 gigs of ram and 1 tb ssd midnight!
@@Dinkalinsky Damn dude! Nice!
@@MatthewPCLO I’m excited cause I still don’t know how to use it but I’m learning
@@MatthewPCLOI’m excited for you. I’m using a MBP M1 Pro and I still feel like I don’t push it to its limit. I never even hear the fab

Absolutely, very impressive 💯
obvs a 2021 laptop is faster than a 2015 laptop nothing special

What laptop did you use for the Hackintosh?
Yeah! Tell us about the hackintosh
Good video! Keep going!
@@musanziyane6616 Thank you so much! I definitely will, I have more video ideas baking!
I'd like that kid of money to just say 'i had to buy a M2 macbook'
@@tigersusyt Yeah but considering it’s used for work, it’s a worthy investment
MacBook Pro M3 8gb, or MacBook Air M2 16 gb, I can get it both for the same price but I’m not sure.

@@vhcrack I completely agree with this
