Macbook for college - eviltoast

Hey! I’m having a hard time deciding. I currently have an i5 2019 air that needs an upgrade. I’m a second year engineering student and want something that will last me at least till graduation and a bit longer (4+ years).

I’m stuck between the M2 air and M3 pro. Their does not seem to be that much difference in power from what I heard. But then I’m also considering the m3 pro. I’m a college student so I would much rather spend less, but I’m also willing to sacrifice a bit and get something better if it’s worth it. Would you say the difference in price worth it (especially since apple is giving up to 200$ gift card for the airs but not the pros this weekend).

    You should get either the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro or the model with the M3 Pro chip (just upgrade the RAM too) if I were you tho, I would get the higher end M3 Pro MacBook Pro, it’s much more worth it than the base M3 or M2 Air.
