I was SUPER CLOSE to upgrading from my M1 MacBook Air to the M3 MacBook Air.
But then M4 came out on the iPad of all places... I am not sure that I want to buy a last gen chip now.
I would still upgrade to M3, but after seeing the leaked geekbench score for the M4 iPad Pro... that thing is 90% faster than my M1 Air while M3 is only like 40%...
So the reason I was going to upgrade is because my Mac feels sluggish because it uses Swap instead of Ram (I got 8 GB, would upgrade to 16 GB)

- All on an Air...
And $1349 (With the best deal I found) is hard to justify for me for a laptop that is now what I consider outdated.
I was going to do a deal with my parents they buy me a M3 Air and give them my M1 Air, but now I am thinking on revealing the $699 Walmart MacBook to them.
