WWYD M2 or M3?

[rockitdog]

I picked up an M2 MacBook Air about a month ago from my local Costco for $799.99. Have been happy with it's performance thus far but I noticed that they just lowered the M3 MacBook Air to the same price I paid ($799.99) and dropped the M2 by an additional $100 making it $699.99. We are not power users by any means - just using it for standard home use. I'm torn on weather I should take the $100 price adjustment or exchange the M2 for the M3 at the same price?

I'd exchange, if you're willing to go through the hassle of the change. You'll get an extra year out of the newer one.

Same the m3 is fixing the slow ssd on the base m2 so definitely m3 is the best choice!

I am a happy m2 owner, but m3 is the choice in your situation. Another year of support.

Yeah M2 and M3 users don't have a lot of reasons to switch to M4... That's what I don't like about this new air...

the 8gb/256gb version.

I have the 16GB/256 variant

the 256gb is the slow one. the 512gb is the faster variant. It doesn't matter much in day to day task though.
