Pre much title. Trying to decide between the m3 pro chip base model vs the m2 air with 16 gb ram and 512 ssd. I currently do some light photo/video editing, music production, coding, and school work. I feel that with this new machine there is a good chance I start doing a lot more of those things. I would be taking it to school so the lighter weight would be nice and I prefer the midnight blue over the space black. Price isn't a huge concern in my decision. I would probably have it for the next 5 or so years.

 

Hi, I have a 2018 macbook pro. A few days ago i went to use it and it said the battery was dead. I was confused because thought it had a good bit of battery when I went to sleep the night prior. I plugged it in turned it on and to my surprise said it had 49% battery remaining. All was well for two days but then today the same thing happened wouldn't turn on plugged it in for like 2 minutes and then boom 42% battery remaining and runs fine unplugged. Does anyone have any clue what could be the issue?

my main question I guess is it even worth it to upgrade considering what I currently have?

 

Hi, I have a 2018 i7 MacBook Pro with 512gb, and 16gb ram. I use it for light photo/video editing, Logic Pro sometimes, and general use/school work. I am going to be starting school again soon and will be using it a lot more frequently. Is it worth it to upgrade to the m2 air with 16 gb ram, and 512 storage. In terms of performance and just general use, because I would be spending $1400 whilst already having a functioning computer. Also should I wait for the m3 possibly or will that not be coming out anytime soon?
