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 recently bought a new MBP 14" M1 Max with 64GB, 2TB, 32 core GPU on sale for $2300. It is a beast. I would have spent over 4K for a new M2 with the same specs. The vendor (B&H) even covered shipping and sales tax! The incremental improvements in performance with the M2 or M3 isn’t worth the premium if you ask me. There are great options out there on the older chips.

      Same just got the 16 inch 4tb model for 2999. I have a 13 inch m2 air lowest end model I bought for travel a.month ago and that thing is great because they had just changed the body style to match the pro
