Hi, With my batch 7 prep mail out, it’s getting in my mind again. And I’m still debating between the 14” m3 pro 18 512 model and the Framework 13 R7 with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of ram. Can’t decide because they both have pros and cons. The framework will cost 1429+~170=€1600 for ssd and ram and the Mac with student discount will cost me €2000. And with the better battery life and screen etc. I’m still debating with myself and can’t choose :( So my question is how do decide because I can’t find a definitive choice for myself. Thanks already for the answers

    512gb of storage is going to be pretty rough, and unlike the Framework, you can’t expand it down the line. If something breaks, you’ll be at Apple’s mercy to get it fixed.

    Aside from that, the MacBook will be objectively better in every way.
