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?

    I think if you’re into photography the Pro is great with the SD ports. Honestly there’s always going to be a new better machine, the biggest pros in any field reasonably have the same version as you right now.

    Can always just be ready to watch the reveal and decide if you’re missing out, otherwise you’re probably good and have a laptop that will last 3+ years through more updates and refreshes.
