People are all crazy now about Apple’s new MacBooks with M3 processors 🤪
Want to buy it, because it’s black and less fingerprints 😂
Seriously? $2k+ because of look?
The CPU will be idle for most people anyway.
You don’t need a high end processor for browsing and YouTube.
And also not for webdev.
No need to get a new one if you are already on one of the current M1/M2 processors.
M1/M2 are powerful enough for most people.
To give you an idea:
I run a MacBook Air M2 with 24GB
Currently running:
- Firefox (6 tabs)
- Vivaldi (Chrome based, 140 tabs)
- Chromium (6 tabs)
- VS Code
- Sublime Text
- TextMate
- Libre Office Calc
- Notion App
- Finder (3 instances)
- iTerm (8 instances)
- Spotify, Skype, Telegram
Runs absolute buttery.
If your current laptop is 3y+ old or you are (still) on Intel, consider getting a new one.
All others could also just ride their M1/M2 for a couple more years. It’s power 💪
Just buying because it’s new is stupid.
