A luxury thanks to getting to keep a pretty beefy Macbook Pro from being laid off, combined with the magic of an M1 Air for all things music. Two different desks, two different chairs, different mindsets at each. Try it, seems inefficient until you ride the bike.

Based on your described workload, this configuration would more than accommodate you. RAM being the most important spec. And if you need it now, get it now. The M2 is great. You will not notice much benefit holding out for the M3.
Your bigger decision is screen size. Can you get by with 13inches or do you need the extra real estate of 15inches?
If you can get by with a smaller screen size, and you want to avoid dongle town, you could consider the the baseline M3 MacBook Pro (you do not need a pro or max chip) with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

My bank account audibly screamed when I swiped my card but it's been such a relief. The last computer I bought was a 2016 MacBook Pro that's been required to be plugged in at all times to do anything more taxing than editing a photo, which is frustrating for a video editor to put it lightly.
Now that I have a tool I can rely on, I have so much more peace of mind.

10+ year old apple monitors and my laptop, mostly used when producing otherwise iโm on the couch with just my laptop for most things I gotta do. the little table with the synths on the right is an old sewing machine table with wheels on it I got at an antique store for cheap, it has collapsable extensions on each side very helpful for decluttering my main desk space

I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.

I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.

Probably picked it up from Reddit, I feel good when saying this, no idea why.
