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.
