So basically, buy what you can afford.

M1 Pro MacBook Pro still going strong 💪
-
I have an M1 MacBook Air, and I see no reason to upgrade. It's excellent.
-
In some countries you can get an M1 Air for around 550 - 600$ on promo slaes. If you don't do heavy duty stuff, this is the best 600 bucks you'll ever spend!
-
Thank, Vadim! I had captured screen shots of several of your comparison videos three days ago, and now I can see them all in single charts
-
Super happy with my 15 inch M2 MBA one year later. Best computer I ever owned ❤
-
Just got the M3 Pro / 18 GB Ram. Gets everything I need it to get done, and plays every game I run on it smoothly.
-
Just bought an M3 Max 16/40 64GB and couldn’t be happier!!!
-
Thanks for the comparison, very detailed data!
-
My 64gb m1max has been perfect and don't see myself upgrading for a LONG time. They just made them too good. Maybe in another 3-4 years
-
Concise, focused, informative, thank you. +1

0:01 Just gett’n into the vid and I already feel broke.

This video is absolutely brilliant, covers everything!

I picked up an M2 MBP 16' for $1600 with 2yrs of Apple Care at a local pawnshop. It only had 45 battery cycles and in pristine condition. Love it!
-
In my use case I use my MBP for office work, some video editing and photo editing, drive a pair of displays at home and work out of a pickup during the day. I had the 10/24/32 M1 Max in a 16". The size was a deal killer. I traded it for a 14" M3 Pro MBP 12/18/18 and have never regretted the decision. Moral of the story, I didn't need as much horse power as I thought, and I really should have spent more time considering the size and weight. Wish I would have originally bought the 14" M1 Pro instead, but super happy with the M3 Pro MBP 14" (and the space black is Cool!)

Awaiting delivery of 16” M3 MacBook Pro Max 48/2Tb silver replacing 5 year old 16” Intel home heater from Apple - will probably miss it during winter time!
-
I recently picked up an open box M3 Pro 14in for about $1500 from Best Buy. It was listed as fair w/major scratches. Upon inspection, there were absolutely no scratches or blemishes. I picked it up and it was totally dead. But after charging I checked the battery and capacity is 100% and it had less than 10 charge cycles. At that price it was a no brainer vs the Air w/16GB and 512GB ssd
-
Still got the M1 Pro 14” MacBook Pro (binned), still can’t get the fan to run loud, and performs amazingly fast. I mainly use figma, vs code, photoshop.

Have had my M2 Macbook Air 13 inch for 8 months now it’s amazing no complaints
