Same.. I have a 13" M1 that I bought right when they came out for a personal machine. For work I have a 16" i9 from 2021. The M1 is so much faster and nicer

Same.. I have a 13" M1 that I bought right when they came out for a personal machine.
For work I have a 16" i9 from 2021. The M1 is so much faster and nicer to use.
Maybe if work gives me a M2 Ultra/Pro/Super/Titanium/whatever in 2024 that will make me want to replace the personal machine. But I doubt it. 90% of my computing is on my work machine and I don't get to use my personal machine for much that strains it. The personal things I do that "strain" a machine have become trivial these days in terms of non-pro photo & video editing.
Realistically I bet it's late 2025 or late 2026 I would be starting to think about upgrading it.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYou have exactly the same home/work setup I have, and I have the same opinion. My 13 inch M1 kicks the crap out of my work 16 inch Intel MBP in every meaningful way that isn't screen size. And even then, I prefer the much more portable smaller laptop anyway. Quieter, faster, incredible battery life. I'm not-so-secretly hoping my 16 inch MBP will croak so I can get it replaced with M1/M2/whatever.
- danaris 4y agoI had a last-gen 16" Intel MBP for work that started developing a number of frustrating issues in mid-to-late 2021, and was lucky enough that my IT department was able to replace it with an M1 Max in early 2022. The difference in the experience between the two has been night and day. The M1 Max just handles everything I throw at it, only gets warm when I'm running something with heavy load for a long period, and never gets hot like the Intel MBP did. Here's hoping you can get yours replaced too!
