Performance
The M3 chip delivers excellent everyday performance for productivity, photo/video editing (Lightroom, Final Cut Pro), coding, browsing with dozens of tabs, and light creative work. The 10-core GPU helps with graphics tasks and multiple 4K displays. For heavier workloads (e.g., 8K video or heavy 3D), the higher-spec M4 or M4 Pro Mac mini/Mac Studio may be better.
