M3 pro for python [D] (alien.top)

I am in the market for a new laptop.

My trusty old HP with an i5 and 16GB RAM from 2018 is due for a replacement. I run Selenium scripts and Pandas daily and Some small ml usecases.

I'm eyeing the MacBook Pro with the M3 pro chip and 32GB RAM.

How does the m3 chip manage the dependencies with python ? I want something easy to use, such as a conda pip on windows.

If there's a better option, I'm all ears. What are the top contenders right now for my use case?

Thanks for your insights!

"the M3 chip" has absolutely nothing to do with python dependecies, so it's a very weird question, I'm not sure what is it you want to know

Maybe the Q is about cuda or similar.

Sorry but this is what your question sounds like: “my old 2018 dodge charger is due an update. I mainly use to commute home-workplace (20 miles) and sometimes I go out on weekends. I was eyeballing the new Mustang GT, for its engine can do so much more. How is the new Mustang engine going to handle the heated seat covers?”

Some libraries aren’t supported on arm. If any dependencies aren’t supported then you’ll have to use the x86 version through Rosetta. This comes with a bit of a performance hit but is workable.
