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’ve got the exact same spec as you in 16’ for 2350 , and even if they release m3 , I’ll still love my machine it’s the fastest I’ve ever owned , Also don’t give too much credit to these rumours they appear every year , putting too much hope only leads to disappointment.don’t go for the air it will be too light if you want bigger screen then maybe get the 16inch

      Good to note for the air. It’s been what I’ve been going back and forth on the most. I think the 14" is the best size for me, my partner has a 16" and i think it’s a bit too heavy/bulky for carrying around.
