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 2999usd I got the top of the line M1 max macbook pro 4tb storage, 64gb memory. It was $1,900 discounted at bhphotovideo

    Not opening it for a but because of the event but I doubt that I would try to buy a new m3 unless a lower end model cheaper than this could blow it out of the water.

    I also recently bought the base model 13 inch MacBook air m2. It’s great for a lot of other things and was also on sale so i paid under 1k usd.
