My gramma bought me the MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M3 Pro chip with 11-core CPU and 14-core GPU, 512GB SSD (2023)
I am not entirely sure if this MacBook Pro was the best idea for my college needs! I would be open to returning it too Costco and getting a different one! The thing that concerns me is the lower battery life with the M3 pro chip!
I only plan on using it for school and streaming needs so I have a feeling it will be extreme overkill!

I just got a used M1 Pro. Does totally fine and is way cheaper
Yes return it and get a m2 16gig air.
I’ve had amazing battery life with my M3. Overkill, maybe. But it’s going to last you longer + longer software support than all the other options.
Why would you want to return a gift? The M3 Pro has a very capable chip & you can use it as a tool to explore new technical skills such video editing since you have an interest in streaming. This is more of an opportunity than anything else
Exactly I agree.
It is great.
It’s not overkill at all, it’s an amazing machine with incredible battery life. Thank your grandma and enjoy your new MacBook Pro😊💯🫡👍
