Video Description

Should you buy the 15” M3 MacBook Air or the 16” M3 MacBook Pro? Should you go with the M3 Pro or the M3 Max? Should I upgrade to the new M3 Pro MacBook Pro or the 15” MacBook Air? ✅ Get your BENQ monitor, designed specifically to work with Macs and MacBooks: https://geni.us/XBQ0la4 - a portion of this video is sponsored by BENQ 10% OFF with code: TECHPD10 on any of the 3 models (PD2725U, PD3220U, PD3420Q) If you’re an average user and you want an M3 MacBook with a big screen, the choice comes down to the 15” MacBook Air and the 16” MacBook Pro - but how do you know which one to choose? I know that there is some confusion about external display support - and I found something strange about file transfer speeds - so we’ll talk about it. I don’t want to spoil some of the ending, but if you’re a super demanding user and you’re always pushing your laptop to the max - save yourself some time and just get the MacBook Pro - but for the rest of us, there’s a lot to consider. #apple #m3macbookpro #m3macbookair ☕ BUY ME A COFFEE?! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/techgeartalk 🎵 LIKE THE MUSIC I USE?
