M2 air 16gb or M3 pro 8gb for cs student - eviltoast

M2 air 15-inch 16gb+512 SSD or M3 pro base(14 inch 8gb ram+512 ssd) for cs student. Will the 8gb enough for 4 yrs of b.tech? these prices were almost so there’s no price point of view. I didn’t see much difference(by reviews) and this is also the first time buying mac. is macbook air being without the fan going to be an issue? Overall for cs student I want to last long(not battery I know both were great so, I meant it’s usability in upcoming future yrs). Is there big gap btw air and pro? Is there’s some issues for cs student or general usability case? Thanks in advance for spending time :)

    I won’t be using an external monitor that’s why I went with 15 inch on air XD. And as for as display yes pro is better(except air being slight extra inch) but I’m prioritising the performance and use case in future. is being with 8gb or laptop without fan is bad? And what is better in ur opinion? Thank u for ur suggestion so far :)
