I am planning on switching from Windows to Macbook. I am an advertisement student so I will be using Photoshop,Illustrator, rarely video editing tools etc. I also casually game (League of Legends and Sims) and watch stuff/write essays.

I can either get the 14 inch M3 Base model with the 16GB RAM upgrade or the 16GB RAM 512GB SSD M2 Macbook Air 15 inch. I feel like I am leaning more towards MBA.

My current laptop is a 15.6 gaming laptop (HP Pavillion 15) The screen size is just enough but carrying it is a burden since it is built like a tank.

I also have an Ipad Air 5 if that changes anything.

Shortly: 15 inch upgraded M2 Air or Base Model M3 Pro based on my usage? I need it for like atleast 5 years. Portability is really important for me but the 13 inch is way too small for my liking. M1 MBA or M2 Pro is not really an option because the prices are really similar with 2023 gen because of discounts here and there.
