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.
- CharlesW 3y agoEven 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.
- lynguist 3y agoBut 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.
- CharlesW 3y agoI 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.
- gok 3y agoM3 Pro gets to 36GB, the M3 Max can do 128GB
- CharlesW 3y agoOh, interesting! TIL the MP3 Pro is limited to 36GB unless you upgrade to the 30-core GPU.
- commandersaki 3y agoYep. 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.
