Apple M3 Pro Chip Has 25% Less Memory Bandwidth Than M1/M2 Pro - Lemmy.World

I’m pretty close to getting a used m1 air for $500.

I can probably search a bit and get a slightly better deal.

The price might be a bit high, but I’m not in the US and we have higher prices here.

I’ve been really happy with my m1 air.
Yeah me too; I bought it to replace a 2013 MBP. Its so light, the battery life is rediculous, and its far gruntier than I need for the work I do which is mostly in a shell / nvim etc anyway.
Well the comparison to a now 10 year old machine is also not quite apples to apples.
Ah well that was just me replacing my personal laptop, so the 10 year old machine had been outperforming my 3 different work laptops (typically Lenovo, running Windows, refreshed every couple of years) all the way up until I got the Air.
