Apple

I got my first Mac a week ago, MacBook Pro with basic M3 chip with 8GB of RAM. I am a first-year student, studying computing for business. I do not run any serious pro apps and do not play games on it (maybe some small indie projects), and my budget was very strictly limited and I couldn't spend more. I didn't experience any issues with it and didn't feel any lack of performance or anything. This is my first and only laptop so I couldn't wait any more as I needed it for college. Asking because everyone says that 8GB is waste of money, but if I don't really know why do I need a more powerful Mac, did I really made a mistake for buying basic M3 ? Should I have waited and bought on M3 Pro chip ?
