Is new midnight coating in M3 MBA better avoiding fingerprints?

Hi, thinking in M3 model over M2 only for this reason…

It seems it is better but still not as good as other finishes. You'll still see fingerprints and marks but just not as much.

M2 MBA user. It's really not that bad. I give it a wipe every month or so and it's good as new. best color by far. don't get swayed by the YouTube hype cycle

The coating on the Space Black MacBook Pros made those dramatically more fingerprint resistant than the M2 midnight Air. I'd expect there's a pretty significant improvement.

That seems to be what the reviewers are saying too. So not as good as the Space Black Pros for some reason.

Just use Plexus 2/year. Problem solved.

The M3 midnight is still a huge fingerprint magnet.
