I have a 2020 13 in. MacBook Pro with the 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 chip. I’ve been considering upgrading to the 14 inch M3 Pro - MacBook Pro. Mainly going to use it for personal stuff, browsing, watching videos and coding. With trade-in, gift cards, student discount, I can get it for about $1100 after tax.

​

Opinions on if it’s worth upgrading?

    It is definitely worth the upgrade, but keep your use-case in mind, I would consider getting a MacBook Air and upgrading the RAM and storage.

    Coming from the Intel MacBooks to any of the Apple Silicon MacBooks is gonna be a great upgrade. I still absolutely love my M1 MBP.

    Any m chip is an insane upgrade over intel.
