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.
did you upgrade the RAM? i’m finding anytime I am using both Lr and Ps and doing any sort of retouching is when it really bogs down the worst. it’s using a ton of swap when doing that. if just using lightroom it’s okay but when I get into doing more intense editing, using healing brush or denoise it really starts to slow
