The M3 MacBook Pro range is frustrating, confusing, and appears to be designed to trick me into spending more

This article really resonated with me. I currently have a 2019 16" i9 MacBook Pro and looking for what the M3 upgrade would be was really frustrating. No clear path and all of the options cost way more than my current machine.

    I work with drones, which means I work with 4K video. I’m a photography writer, which means I work with photos. I’m just the kind of creative who ought to have a MacBook Pro.

    Not really. This honestly isn’t that complicated, and editing 4K video isn’t particularly taxing by modern standards. They should get the 15" M2 MacBook Air. Probably spring for 512GB storage. It’s $1,499 and it’s a certain to be a big upgrade over their current Mac. Problem solved.
