Hi
My wife works as a UI/UX designer and we want to get her a MacBook but we’re unsure if the Air will be enough with the M3 and 16GB.
She mainly uses Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and has several Chrome tabs open.
Do you think the Air will be enough or will it struggle a bit?
And will the Pro be noticeably faster?
Thank you
A bigger concern is the screen size and how much storage you’ll need.

An M1 Pro with 16GB is better than the new Air if you can find a refurbished. I got one for the same price as the Air. It’s a no-brainer. I got the 14in.

Just curious, why 48GB max?

That’s way too much for Figma or most graphic/UI design tools.

I thought it was a joke too. Hopefully, it is, lol.

If you don’t have at least 48GB, AI might take your job.

The Air will last 3 years, while the Pro will last for 10. Buy the Air only if you really can’t afford the Pro.

Why would the Air only last 3 years?

Apple will make it so… it’s called the Apple Law.

Apple pushes all machine owners to buy new models. I’ve bought many Pros and Airs. You’ll find that Airs become unusable after a few years. The OS and Adobe updates will make that happen. Just saying.

Airs from 5 years ago still receive support, so that statement is incorrect.

Supported and usable for professionals are two different things.
