M3 MacBook Advice (lemmy.world)

My old and trusty MacBook is slowly giving up and I’m trying to replace it. I’ve been looking at the m3 pro line for a replacement.

Currently I’m debating wether a 14-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 1 TB SSD, or the 16-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 500 GB SSD makes more sense.

I like the small size and larger SSD of the 14 Inch version, but I’m kinda scared that it’ll get hot faster than the bigger version or have less power somehow.

My tasks include handling documents, editing large photos and videos and very rarely some 3D stuff in blender. I also wanna play some BG3 from time to time.

What would you choose? Are those good choices for the jobs I want it to do? Is my fear of the small one being a little too powerful for its size justified? Or do you say get something else entirely?

Thanks for your help in advance!
