If the CPU cooling is as inadequate as the regular M3 (I have one) then it won’t be any good. That USB-C port needs to be USB4 too. Both M.2 SSD ports need to be PCI-E 4 too.
Totally agree about the USB-C port needing to be USB4 and an upgrade to PCI-E 4 for both of the M.2 SSD ports. The M3 has the Intel 12th Core i5 – are you using it for photo and video editing?
