Umbrella8335Apple M3 Pro Chip Has 25% Less Memory Bandwidth Than M1/M2 Pro
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.
AlchemyI’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.
DJDarrenI have 15" M2 Air, and honestly, this laptop will last me for longer than Apple will want it to. An absolutely astonishing bit of engineering.
Heh, well yes i’m sure they would have rather I didn’t hang on to my last one for 10 years; in fact its still going too - like i’d done with the last two macbooks i’d owned it went as a hand me down to my father who just uses it for email & web browsing. I’m hoping the Air will be around a similar amount of time - it will probably come down to battery & flash degradation over time I suspect.
