> M1 MBP for either an M2 15" MBA or M3 MBP today, or wait until M3 MBAs become a thing My 2 cents, since I am also looking to replace the original M1 MBP with something. - Apple's official refurbished laptops are a thing, M2 already can be found on it. They have warranty. - Think what you need, RAM vs CPU. If you run Docker containers, hundreds of browser tabs, work with heavy multimedia etc. and your budget is limited (or you wouldn't be asking) then you may want to consider M1/M2 with specced up RAM (you'd need to get Pro or Max to unlock higher RAM) instead of a basic M3. Yes, basic M3 is faster than basic M1, but it won't make your RAM issues go away so if you are at the limit of RAM capacity then you'll shoot yourself in the foot. - If you do go for a basic model still consider upping at least storage because at the low end (less than 1TB) SSDs in M2 and M3 have been nerfed and are slower than SSDs in M1.
