Yes, that's why I'm very frugal and critical of new purchases. I have a 2019 intel mbp, and I definitely use it to its limit, and it's relatively slow compared to M1, but I don't think I'd get $4500 worth value out of a new one. People who buy new iPhones even once every 2 or 3 years kind of gross me out with that choice (lookin at you ATP). I have what I consider a phone that is nice enough for the money, and just don't consider anything beyond it to be a suitable use of money. Also don't push it to any limit, have a very standard set of minimally demanding activities I use it for. I haven't had a car in 4 years. When I had one, it was easy enough to justify the stupid gas and insurance expenses. Since then, I'll periodically do the math on the ongoing and initial cost of getting even a used one, and I can't think of what I could do with it that would justify its expense and existence in my life. A new GPU would be neat, but then I think "what game would be fun enough to warrant this purchase? what am I currently doing that would usefully push it" and the answer is nothing.
