Hi, I have a 2018 i7 MacBook Pro with 512gb, and 16gb ram. I use it for light photo/video editing, Logic Pro sometimes, and general use/school work. I am going to be starting school again soon and will be using it a lot more frequently. Is it worth it to upgrade to the m2 air with 16 gb ram, and 512 storage. In terms of performance and just general use, because I would be spending $1400 whilst already having a functioning computer. Also should I wait for the m3 possibly or will that not be coming out anytime soon?

Even a base M1 air/pro would suffice for that usage. If you want to use it for 5+ years, go for the base M2 or M3. But to be honest even the base M1 is so overpowered, it’ll be incredible for what you want.

my main question I guess is it even worth it to upgrade considering what I currently have?

Yes it’s worth it.
