Did I miss something? Watched until the end, but..., which is the ONLY M3 Model I should buy??

[Fahodinho]

what is the The ONLY M3 MacBook Model You Should Buy! ?

[patrickcallahan]

That was exactly what I did, bought the base M3 Pro chip and upgraded the SSD to 1TB in Space Black of course

[hipsterrblack]

Actually going from base M3 pro to M3 Max is a $1000 because the chip is $600 and the bump your memory to 36 gb for $400 without telling you

7:29 36GB of RAM is not enough for running 70B and 180B parameter LLM models without compromising fidelity by using quantized models.

I think which model you decide to buy all depends on how long you intend to keep it. I'm on my MacBook pro from 2013. I intend to keep whatever M3 I buy for another 10 years.

100% agree with this. I have a desktop that I produce music on that has 96GB of RAM, granted a windows machine is far less optimal for music production and I find that my machine is still only using about 15/20% of it's RAM with Chrome open / Studio One and Bitwig. That's roughly 19 GB utilised. I honestly reckon you could get away with the 18GB model even for music production (provided you're not having tow DAW's open simultaneously - for a very specific use case).

8:04 You made a mistake here, the $300 is only a processor bump. If you haven't noticed, the ram increases sure, but it automatically adds a $200 premium. That totals to a $500 upgrade for the processor bump.

M3 Pro with base amount of ram 18GB and 512GB SSD is more than enough even for most video editors unless you work for Hollywood or similar, I have the base 14 inch M1 Pro from 2021 and I've yet to come across anything that I can't do with it, I'll upgrade when we get to the M6 Pro, unless I win the lottery ;) PS: get it if you're coming from an Intel Mac or a Windows machine otherwise spend your extra dosh on a fast 2TB ssd and a case of good wine

I’m ditching my iPad Pro, keeping it as a Netflix machine. I had a Macbook Air couple of years ago, but I gave it to someone. The iPad hasn’t been satisfying my computing needs. Not “Pro” needs, mind you, just simple computing and browsing and file managing. I miss the traditional laptop experience. HOWEVER, I’m currently torn between waiting for the M3 Air but seriously dreading the non-promotion display, or get a 14” Macbook pro and upping it to 16gigs.

[JuanChT]

How can a "pro" model only have 8 gigs of RAM in late 2023? The USD 1, 600 is deceiving (bc you have to spend 200 more for 8 additional gigs).

[mikegraham]

I need a computer just to work out which macbook to buy my brain can't take all this confusion 🤣

[musclemua]

I just bought a refurbished M3 macbook with 24gb of ram and 1tb of storage (8core CPU, 10core GPU) using it for some (not super intense) video editing and for school. I had the option of getting the m3 pro for the same price but with less ram (18gb) but with more cores (11core cpu, 14core gpu).

I decided in the end the ram was more important than the cores. I’d love to know ur thoughts!!

[mildmannered]

Amen about the binned. Binned is a great way to get two fans, space black, plenty of speed, and upgrade to 1tb instead of 1 more cpu core

[incognito]

36GB RAM is enough for everything? Not for me, I am a developer and I run multiple VM's and containers when I test run my code....

[Popularshortschannel]

i got the M3 Pro the day it came out. Mine is awesome, battery life is fantastic, the fans dont even come on when im using it running, photoshop, spotify, youtube, chrome, excel all at the same time.

[ReginaldoKono]

Thank you to confirm that the 1tb I choosed this week worths not only for the memory space but also for a faster machine. The RAM, I upgraded to 16Gb only. This way I presume I'll use half of the ssd size, and quite always been able to keep the another half for swapping memory when it's occasionally needed.

[LetsTravelThisYear]

No mention of the bandwidth that decreased from the M2 to the M3. From 200 to 150.

[crunchchannel]

I was in the market for a new laptop. My 2013 MBA feels slow and the battery doesn't work much anymore.
I checked for alternatives and at the end found a M1 Pro 16" for what I thought was a good price. I hope I made the right call.

Almost got the base black m3 Pro, but the M1 had better specs (size and 1T) and a about 250€ cheaper. I hope I made the right call.

[tannerthanyou]

I went with the 16” m3 pro with 12-core cpu + 2tb ssd. Pricey but your video makes me feel much better about that decision😂
