Is the big issue with M3 vs M4 (aside from slower processor) that M3 only supports 1 external monitor (while MacBook is open), while M4 supports 2 external monitors (so built in screen + two external screens at same time)?
Not much of price difference ($200), keep the m4
If you pay attention to those tests, you're talking about a difference of a second or less for most users. How much does that matter to you in the real world where you won't have another MacBook side by side. Heck, I still have a M1 8/256 that I use as a beater at coffee shops and it still flys for normal stuff. Don't make it too complicated.

M3 Air base is going for $699.99 at brand smart. $749.00 should be the regular price for base now ($100 less than M4 Air). $250-300 more for 8GB more RAM and 256GB more SSD is what you're giving Apple.

Isn't the base RAM at 8 GB? So you're getting 3x that amount in this deal, 24GB.

I ordered the M4 a few days ago specifically for the ability to have dual external monitors.

For the M4, but it was 8 GB for the M3.

Not sure if you were talking about the M3 base RAM or the M4 base RAM when comparing.

I'm talking about right now, what you can get. Nobody touching the 8GB stock.

Any other big difference between the m4 and m3? Just got the m4 24gb RAM 512gb SSD from the microcenter deal for $1190 but haven't opened it yet.
