>Does anyone have an opinion on if it would have been better to stick with Intel? Not even close. I don't see having an obsolete model as being a huge issue because I don't see anything major Apple has in the pipeline. The actual performance improvements are modest and a major design or addition of new functionality isn't expected. The m2 Pro probably will exist mostly because of having to deal with Zen4/Raptor lake competition. When the laptop comes out, Apple is likely to charge a premium over the m1 model and continue to offer the m1 model. I would probably just buy if I needed a laptop, and wait if I didn't.
