Summary
After one week, he will return the $1,700 base M3 MacBook Pro: 8GB RAM caused swap, pressure, stuttering, and crashes. He bought a Flow X13 for $1,350 after discount, gaining 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, RTX 4050 graphics, and touchscreen convertibility. He concludes Apple’s 8GB Pro is poor value; Windows better serves multitasking, Steam gaming, and portability.
Insight
The purchase reverses his recent Apple upgrade, redirecting enthusiasm toward technically stronger Windows hardware.
