Hi, With my batch 7 prep mail out, it’s getting in my mind again. And I’m still debating between the 14” m3 pro 18 512 model and the Framework 13 R7 with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of ram. Can’t decide because they both have pros and cons. The framework will cost 1429+~170=€1600 for ssd and ram and the Mac with student discount will cost me €2000. And with the better battery life and screen etc. I’m still debating with myself and can’t choose :( So my question is how do decide because I can’t find a definitive choice for myself. Thanks already for the answers

    Can’t give you an answer - you’re comparing two different things. We’re not psychic and don’t have any idea what you’d be using it for.

    Different CPU architecture now, so you can only run macOS. It’s not like the Intel Mac days when you could run Windows, Linux etc natively on the Macs.

    The Mac is the close to the anti-framework. It’s pretty much unrepairable and expandable. The batteries are glued in and the storage is soldered on.
