Looking to upgrade but not in a rush. I have a 13” M2 MBA but my problem is the RAM. I do photography and mainly use lightroom and photoshop. This isn’t my main machine and mostly only getting a laptop for travel purposes so size and portability are top of my list alongside RAM. I LOVE the aesthetic and portability of my 13” MBA but understand I need better performance. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the 14” MBP with the M3 Pro chip OR wait for the M3 Air to come out and spec up to 24GB memory. I intend to keep this for several years so I don’t want to end up in the same position I am now with needing to upgrade after only a year due to not being knowledgeable in the first place about the base RAM. any opinions appreciated.

    I’d say Pro. The m3 chip is amazing. I’m editing 60mp photos (On the M3 Max, add a few seconds extra for the M3 Pro) 120mb+ photos in Lightroom literally almost instantly. I rendered close to 300 finished and edited photos today together and the device didn’t even heat up.
