i’m not in a rush to upgrade, but potentially next year or when they upgrade the Air with the M3 chips is when i’m thinking of upgrading

did you upgrade the RAM? i’m finding anytime I am using both Lr and Ps and doing any sort of retouching is when it really bogs down the worst. it’s using a ton of swap when doing that. if just using lightroom it’s okay but when I get into doing more intense editing, using healing brush or denoise it really starts to slow

Looking to upgrade but not in a rush. I have a 13” M2 MBA but my problem is the RAM. I do photography and mainly use lightroom and photoshop. This isn’t my main machine and mostly only getting a laptop for travel purposes so size and portability are top of my list alongside RAM. I LOVE the aesthetic and portability of my 13” MBA but understand I need better performance. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the 14” MBP with the M3 Pro chip OR wait for the M3 Air to come out and spec up to 24GB memory. I intend to keep this for several years so I don’t want to end up in the same position I am now with needing to upgrade after only a year due to not being knowledgeable in the first place about the base RAM. any opinions appreciated.
