I purchased and have been using the new Space Black M3 Pro MBA w/36 GB ram and 1 TB SSD since November 7th. It was time to upgrade since my previous machine was a 2018 MBA w/ eGPU assist. I agree with the author's opinion regarding the target demographic this laptop is for. So far, it has been a great machine for my use case.
I do have one purchase guide that I have used successfully for the past few generations of laptop purchases. Only purchase a laptop that I can financially replace quickly and easily if some unforeseen catastrophic event occurs to that laptop. That means a purchase of a laptop that is at the very top tier of what is currently available is really not a wise choice for me - given that technology usually obsoletes a purchase after five or six years and the return on investment is really not worth it. Plus, a laptop, by its intended nature is a mobile system that is prone to more unexpected hardships and after all these years, I am SO over a "bragging rights" tech purchase.
