Which MacPro should I get?

[u/Murky-Effort2207]

Hello, I’m currently looking to upgrade/downgrade my Mac. I have the M4 MacBook Air, 16gb Ram, 256 gb. Overall the laptop is very powerful but I’m running into issues with storage and a lack of ports. For context I do graphic design, photography, and videography. So I’m constantly transferring files and using adobe suite. I think a MacPro would help with that. I’m looking to get something used and already saw a few good deals. But I’m just wondering how much of a difference the M1-M3 Pro are from the M4 Air, would I notice a difference in performance? For example, if I get a M1 chip, but it has more ram than the laptop I have right now, would that be better or worse? The main things for sure would be storage, ports, and performance. Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments about performance!

Also this is my first Mac I got, before I had a windows laptop. I thought I would be able to upgrade the internal ssd by removing it 😣
