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'm all for "8GB is horseshit". There's a reason it's built onto the chip though. But past that the idea that having multiple levels of performance is bad is stupid.

And so is the idea that 4 grand on a laptop that will meaningfully save you work time is a huge deal. It it's a hobby that doesn't make you money, just let it be slower.
