Ask 3 people, get 5 answers. Got the money, are in the consumerism camp: Switch to latest model every year because the camera island changed 5mm. Got the professional need in games or video and your work isn't covering your device: Switch to new model every couple of generations. Be me: I want to extend the lifecycle of things I use. Learn how to repair what you own (it's never been as easy), be aware of how you can work in today's world (who needs laptop RAM if I can spin up containers in the cloud) - I expect to not upgrade until a similarly stellar step up in the category of Intel to Apple Silicone comes along. All past Mx versions being mostly compared to Intel baselines: Boring. M4 1.8 times faster than M1 Pro: Nice, but no QoL change. For the few times I might need it, I can spin up a container in the cloud. My display is excellent. 14 inch is the perfect screen size. Battery life is perfect.
