I'm currently on a 2020 13" Macbook Air Intel i5 8Gb ram, 512Gb storage. My wife and I share the laptop because her 2013 Macbook Air is bogged down. I have it setup with 2 users, but the laptop runs horribly slow if we are both logged in with programs open. She is a big user of Chrome with 15+ tabs open, along with various other applications.
I am pretty sure the only issue is the 8Gb memory is just not cutting it anymore, so I'm looking at a new Macbook Air M2 or M3 with 16gb ram, BUT, curious if anyone has any other thoughts. I am eyeing the 14" MacBook Pro with M3, 16Gb memory, and 512Gb storage but I can't see what the Pro would get me if the processor, ram, and storage are the same as the MacBook air.
Lastly after reading as much as I can about the M2 and M3, there are not many upgrades, but for $100 I'll probably just get the M3.
I had a Macbook Air 2011 which I loved and was a great laptop until 2020. I'm very unhappy with the performance of my 2020 Macbook air.
