Hi, apple experts. I am looking at purchasing mbp M3 pro. I'm pretty new to Apple products and MacOS in general so would be great to get advice and suggestions here
This purchase is to replace my now 12 years old Windows desktop with something more portable. I've been wanting to make the jump into MacOs for some time now. At first I was looking at M2 air but really felt the extra power and ports options offered by mbp might be more ideal if I want to keep this for at least 6 years.
This device is mainly for personal use.
Currently I'm looking at the base 14inch MBP M3 pro 18GB/1TB. Which comes to €2829. I'm tempted to get the 36GB option as I always felt more RAM never hurts. However it is an extra €460 which is a steep price to pay for extra 18GB 😅
Also is AppleCare+ worth it? It is an extra €300 for 3 years.

- Web browsing + YouTube + listening to music. I generally have 30+ tabs open.
- Side coding projects using IDEs such as Intellij and/or VSCode. I also have interest in learning iOS app development as well.
- I'm interested in running parallels for messing around with Windows 11.
