The Silicon range of processors introduced in 2020 has kept Apple ahead of the game when it comes to music production. The first M1 chip feels like a lifetime ago, though, as the current Apple lineup is all - bar a single MacBook Air M1 - fitted out with the latest M2 and M3 chips.
And it's these M2 and M3 ranges that we are here to compare and contrast. As an M2 owner, should you consider upgrading to an M3? Or if you are an older Mac owner, which 'M' should you opt for for your next music making machine? We have the answers to those question right here, and if you are a Mac music maker, this is your essential guide through the 'M' minefield. We've included some of our favourite models from the M2 and M3 ranges in this guide, too.
