Yeah reading these announcements I realized my M1 Pro is supposed to be obsolete but I still see no reason to upgrade.
Also, my wife's still using the older touch bar MBP, and we'll, it works fine for her too.
I'm not sure who needs the newer pros.
- Jolter 8mo agoEveryone who’s still running Intel hardware, especially on Windows. I recently swapped out my work PC (a beefy workstation laptop) for an M4 Pro and it’s an amazing upgrade.
- gbalduzzi 8mo agoI'm still using the touch bar MBP. For doing web work using vs code, it works very well. You start having problems when an heavy compilation is required, e.g. Android / iOS builds
- lelandfe 8mo agoMy 2020 M1 MBP just had its touch bar die a couple weeks ago :( Now I don't have function keys

- phil21 8mo agoMostly folks who bought base model with small amounts of RAM I imagine. While it’s workable, anything less than 24GB to me feels rather constrained. I definitely am not efficient though - leaving way too many browser tabs open I never actually get back to, running a few chrome profiles for work/side hustle/personal, etc. I don’t think I’ve ever been CPU constrained for many years now. The few times I need to something that maxes out CPU just isn’t worth the upgrade vs taking a break to grab a cup of coffee.
