So basically, buy what you can afford.

M1 Pro MacBook Pro still going strong 💪

[ront]

I have an M1 MacBook Air, and I see no reason to upgrade. It's excellent.

[itsaxar]

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.

[roykent]

Super happy with my 15 inch M2 MBA one year later. Best computer I ever owned ❤

[rafaeldomenikos]

Just bought an M3 Max 16/40 64GB and couldn’t be happier!!!

[ed]

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

[alancarmona]

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

[YeahTheMitchs]

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

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!

[jase]

Bought a used 14" M1 Max a year and a half ago for $2k. Still breezes through anything I toss at it. Upgrading would be pointless.

[TheRunpoker]

I love my M1 Max. To me it is peak laptop and still way overpowered for the light video editing and office work I do. I got it at haft price on Black Friday and believe I will have it for 5-10 years.

14” m3 max 40 core 2TB 64GB RAM. Buy nice or buy twice. This will last me 7-10 years before anything base even comes close

[ThaiLifeChronicles]

I got a 16in MacBook Pro from school. It’s my first not 13in in 12 years… and I hate it so much!!! It’s too big and heaven for a laptop. Like it’s not even reasonably sized for carrying around.

[DronieWalker]

Just bought a brand new MacBook Air M1 for less than $750 on year 2024, upgraded from previous 2019 Intel MBP and it was the best investment I did after iPad mini 6

[jimtipton]

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!)

[City_Cichlids]

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!

[Christian-truf]

I've had my base m1 air for 3 years and it gets the job done. It was finally pushed when I started using VS Code and other IDE's for university. If I had gone and upgraded it to 16gb ram I think I would've never wanted to get an upgrade now 😭

[JJJB]

The 15'' macbook air is roughly the same weight as the 14'' macbook pro, but lacks promotion, miniled, XDR, fewer external display support, lower builtin display resolution, fewer thunderbolts, etc. No idea why apple made this model at the first

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
