my biggest regret of 2023 is buying the MBA with M2 chip. it is so underpowered compared to the MBP - no right hand ports, lower memory, no support for 2 monitors - that it was not worth the few hundred dollars saved and lighter weight which was something i thought I valued.

so just a word of advice to fellow devs - go for the MBP. if you're on here you need it.



I have a 14in MBP M2 and it only has two USB C ports on the left-hand side. Apple's fractured line up is confusing at best.


They still sell a macbook pro lite with a single fan unfortunately. You need to throw in for the higher core count chip to get the actual macbook pro.


The battery life is crazy on the m3s, supposedly better than m2 due to more e cores. I use mine all day and can get away with charging it overnight.
