It’s good but they should’ve upped the memory from 24G to 32G. In my opinion a new Macbook Air only makes sense when you can get more memory. And I still think it’s the best laptop.


Yep. I work on a C++ project that requires up to 32GB of memory to compile. If I could do that on the air, that'd be amazing. I don't think I'd ever want to get the Pro though, it's too bulky for my liking.


Even the Pro M3 tops out at 24GB of RAM. On the bright side, you can get a Pro M3 MAX with 36GB of RAM for not much more than a loaded Air.


But it’s chunky! I love the Air for its lack of chunk and lack of fans! For me it’s a precision machine that’s pure joy to use; I just want more RAM.


I get it! My MacBook Air M1 is honestly perfect. I'm considering a Studio upgrade only because I find myself working on ridiculously large (24K x 30K) 16 bits-per-channel image files lately.


M3 Pro gets to 36GB, the M3 Max can do 128GB


Oh, interesting! TIL the MP3 Pro is limited to 36GB unless you upgrade to the 30-core GPU.
