Air M2 or Pro M3? (alien.top)

I'm deciding between:

MacBook Air 15", M2, 24 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
MacBook Pro 14", M3, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

I do the following:

Voiceover / narration work (Logic Pro + plugins)
Some photo editing (Lightroom)
Grad school (Pages, Numbers, Keynote)

I do 4K video editing at work but have a Mac Studio M2 Ultra for those projects. Currently leaning toward the Air but would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

If you mean the Base model pro, I suggest it, It has More ports and a Fan which may help a lot with heavy apps and games. I don’t get people who complains about fan noise I use to find it relaxing if it’s quiet. And MacBook one is very quiet as far as I noticed from other people’s Macs (I have an Air)

16 go of ram will be enough

Get a cheap Chromebook or whatever. Remote desktop into Mac Studio. Keep the $$$ in the wallet.
