My 3 year old Macbook Air with a 
m2 chip was on its last legs. 

I'm very labor intensive on my electronics. 

The touchpad barely worked anymore 
one of the 2 thunder ports didn't work. 

I broke down & got a brand new M3-
Midnight Blue beauty with 1 TB of memory
16 gigs of ram, what a difference! 

Feeling good.💙

at 16 gigs of ram I don't think I'll max it out with most the applications I use however for 200 bucks more you can bump it up to 24g which I considered but have a feeling it would have been overkill.

The RAM was historically the bottleneck but doesn’t feel like it with M series …haven’t hit the limits ever really on Mac Mini

Whereas the Air is ok ish…on heavy tasks it is limited

yea, and so far from what I can tell worth every penny, I haven't really torn the roof off yet but getting zero lag on any multiple app usage toggling between different design programs so far.
