Hello, I would like to buy now a mbp 14 m3pro 1 tb 36 gb for office work and writing (word, latex, parallels), I would like to use two external monitors and I would like to keep the machine for 5-7 years. I would like to add that I do not intend to use the mbp for gaming, I would like to write papers (articles on legal questions), read pdf files, which are sometimes scans, and use video conference software like zoom.
Does it make sense to go for the m3 pro 12 c cpu/18 core gpu, given the two external monitors, or will the m3 pro 11 c cpu 14 gpu suffice? If I am not mistaken, the general consensus seems to be that the upgrade to the unbinned m3pro will often not be worth it, since the benefits associated with the unbinned m3pro will be marginal. I wonder whether this calculus changes when one factors the use of two external monitors in?
Thanks in advance!
