Last week I pulled the plug on purchasing a refurbished M2 MBP 14" from apple and I am feeling so much buyer’s remorse! I paid 2,799$CAD (~2,000USD) for 12‑Core CPU and 19‑Core GPU, 16GB, 1TB.

I have until Oct 31 to return which is a day after the reveal… but even if they come out with an M3, I wouldn’t have the funds for more than what I already paid.

I’m mostly wondering if I should get an M2 air (16/1tb) for 2,019$CAD or M1pro (16/1tb) for 2,419$CAD

I work in the creative field and I’m also a DJ/Music producer so I’ll run rekordbox, ableton, serato, and some light adobe projects and photography.

Should I return and get the M2 air or did I get the M2 pro for a good price and I should just stick to what I have?

    For your usage case the M2 you got is perfect. The Air will be too lightweight power wise for you. The announcements coming next week aren’t going to make any difference in what you got. You got the perfect MacBook Pro, enjoy it!

      I agree, I bought the same spec MBP as OP yesterday, for more money… I don’t have buyers remorse. It’s a great machine - perfectly fits my needs, on top the Liquid Retina display looks amazing. It’s really fast. I guess I can use it at least the next 3 years without any problems.

      OP don’t overthink it - there is always something new coming out but as long as your Maschine is working good (and it’s a computer to work with not for gaming and having the best of the best graphics) than it’s totally fine!
