My gramma bought me the MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M3 Pro chip with 11-core CPU and 14-core GPU, 512GB SSD (2023)

I am not entirely sure if this MacBook Pro was the best idea for my college needs! I would be open to returning it too Costco and getting a different one! The thing that concerns me is the lower battery life with the M3 pro chip!

I only plan on using it for school and streaming needs so I have a feeling it will be extreme overkill!

    I’ve had amazing battery life with my M3. Overkill, maybe. But it’s going to last you longer + longer software support than all the other options.

    Why would you want to return a gift? The M3 Pro has a very capable chip & you can use it as a tool to explore new technical skills such video editing since you have an interest in streaming. This is more of an opportunity than anything else
