Greetings!
I am looking into upgrading to an M3 MBA with 16 GB of Ram and 512 GB of Storage.
I already made the decision that I am upgrading as my trusty M1 MBA is starting to get slow in Xcode because I have 8 GB of Ram. Really good laptop for web browsing and video editing, but when I get into Ram intensive stuff like Xcode, it lags a lot...
Xcode is not a job, it's just a hobby that I want to turn into a job in the future. It isn't critical that I upgrade ASAP.
I went to my local Apple Store yesterday and looked at the colors.
I really like Midnight, however when the M2 was the latest, I would look at the MacBooks at the Apple Store and see that there were fingerprints ALL OVER on it.
I really like the Midnight color of the M3 MBA, I just want to know if I should wait for them to restock it in the configurations I want, as it is out of stock, or just get silver since that is my 2nd choice if the fingerprint coating doesn't work, and Flatirons Crossing and Cherry Creek have that in stock.
For those that have the M3 MBA or M3 Pro MBP in Space Black,
Does the anti-fingerprint coating actually work?
Please also send pictures of your MacBook and I will make my decision like that.
Thanks in advance,
Will
