and dont care about heat or fan noise
This is one of the big selling points for many people. I used to have an Alienware that was plenty powerful but made a ton of noise and pumped heat onto my legs like standing in front of a bonfire, that’s just not fun to use as a mobile product imo.
Seeing these M3 deals and it makes me wanna upgrade, but then I remember “oh wait, the M1 Pro is still an upgrade, I’ve never needed more than my M1 MBA, I just need the bigger nicer screen and M1 Pros are cheaper than ever.” They really just are good enough for almost anyone…if they drop OLED screens I can see upgrading again for that, but in terms of power M1 still feels like enough. I play WoW/LoL, I don’t build classical symphonies in Logic, I don’t edit Transformers 8 in FCPX…M1 still a beefy machine for the rest of us.
