M3 battery replacement costs (alien.top)

I'm budgeting for a new laptop. I changed my current macbook battery 3x. I was able to do this myself for 30usd each time.

What should I budget for buying a new m3, and how does that compare to an m2? I'm only interested in AI performance, so I hear the m2 isn't much slower, so I could choose either.

If you care if your betters, get m3 pro not m3 max, very similar but max use more ram etc. To do same things couple seconds faster but you won’t see the difference, I have mine M1 Pro 16” since February 2022, use Aldente, I have 93% health and easily with just surfing web I get 13-16h on battery every day, at harder tasks 8-12h never had less than 8 mostly 14h

Thank for reminding me of aldente :) I wanted to use it but it's a bit crippled on Intel. So that should help in this area 👍👍
