I’m glad we have the M3. My M1 MacBook Pro equals a $5100 (pre-tax) replacement cost before trade-in / selling. Maybe I’ll reconsider when the MacBook Pro finally ditches the awful Mini-LED and finally moves to OLED / MicroLED. Mini-LEDs on the iPad Pro & MacBook Pro continue to be the weakest links of these machines.

I used to upgrade every 2 years but I spent the weekend editing 4K HEVC video and 60 megapixel RAW images and the M1 Max is still fast enough for someone not getting paid to work.
