Should I get:
A) MacBook Air M3
8-Core CPU
10-Core GPU
24GB Unified Memory
512GB SSD- or -
B) MacBook Pro M4 PRO
12-Core CPU
16-Core GPU
24GB Unified Memory
512GB SSDI prefer a smaller, lighter computer for travel. 99% of usage in clamshell mode at my desk.
However, I want to start diving into AI more, so option B is more powerful for +$500. Is B going to make a difference?
- for $500 more B is a no brainerspl33nidoru

- Pro vs Air. Waaay more powerful. If you can spare it go with the m4 no question about it. Or consider an M3 Pro with more memory which is what I did.monospaced
- I'm kind of in the same decision process...the pro is a mean machine, but heavy and big. also considering M4mini + Air or IPAD for presentation stuff.uan

- in my world all this GPU CPU power is to much. video editing or rendering or playing with own AI models is where you need that power.uan
- B, that $500 will pay a bit of tech dividend for a few years. I think the neural engine on the m4 is much more powerful vs m3 for AI stuff as well.dibec
- for such a difference in power for 500€ only...and if you have the money, def Boey_oey
- K I was leaning toward B but it seemed strange that it was only +$500. (Not a lot of money in 2024)********
- The extra weight is annoying but I can live with it. Seems like you’re all agreeing on B, which is what I leaned toward********
- The 14" is pretty lean. I chose it over the 16" and I don't entirely regret it.monospaced
- Twice pro, it has to be very pro! Buy it!!OBBTKN
- I went for B. Do not regret it one bit.futurefood
- Don't buy a black macbook. I truly regret it.stewart
- Why do you regret black?********
- i got an ipad pro this year with the m4. fucking amazing. logic pro for ipad is amazing.ephix
