Hello. I’m a programmer and want to use this as my daily driver outside of my 9-5 for some web projects and content creation. I'm unsure how to spec it so wanted to ask for advice here. I'd be upgrading from a supped out 2014 MBP with the 750M and 16GM of RAM. It's just started to slow down considerably; maybe it just needs thermal paste and cleaned fans and a new battery but I'm not sure.
For my next upgrade, I’m going to grab the 15" MBA with 512GB SSD, and either 16gb or 24gb of RAM. I’m unsure if I should wait for the M3 though. Is the only difference going to be speed or could there be other improvements? My main use case will be heavy browsing, coding, and recording and streaming with OBS.
If there's any insights between the RAM and M2 vs M3 for this use-case please chime in. Thank you
