Comments

Got this little M3 Pro for my home office. The i5-13500H is surprisingly punchy for its size – handles heavy Chrome tabs and light video editing without breaking a sweat. Love the triple 4K display support. Only gripe: it uses DDR4, not DDR5, and the default SSD is PCIe 3.0 even though the slot supports 4.0. The silent fan is legit quiet. For under $500, it’s a solid workhorse.
