To be announced next year, either March 2024 or WWDC 2024

iMac is a nice desktop computer seriously.

or else mac mini is also good, if one just needs the cheapest mac.

I also bought my M2 around March.
But still ok.... I'm happy using it.

I've not used any Macs with unified memory before, how does it compare to normal RAMs?

Is it more efficient or about the same?

I wanted to buy a MBP with 64gb of RAM, but Apple seems to want you to max out everything for it.

I think I just wanted an iMac coz it looks cool, hahaha… My desktop is mainly used just for browsing and as a “download” server, if you know what I mean, hahaha… That’s why I’m still using a 2012 machine now… Don’t really need a Mac for it…

Yeah, I think anyone with a M1 also is good for the next 5 years maybe?

It’s definitely more power efficient, but my use case scenario is fairly light so I can’t comment on how it is performance wise.

The black look nice.

Need to hold, wait for next year, only upgrade if it is OLED screen. 😅

Apple, not using OLED for Pro Macbooks, they're using miniLED on 14-inch and 16-inch Macbook Pro. Higher quality than OLED and no burn-in issue.

Technically u missed 2 times update Becos m2 pro also updated this year for MacBook Pro also.

miniLED never higher quality than OLED. I don’t worried on burn-in. All my display is OLED now except MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.

Will upgrade after Apple change to OLED.

Nothing can beat OLED for image quality, especially on HDR content.

Indeed. I switched to oled tv now and I could never buy non-OLED tv again. 🤪

Yup, OLED is big poison! 😅

micro LED would be the only OLED replacement in the future.

what are missing from 7499 M3 vs old M2 Pro

- 2 port USBC
- 10 (4+4) vs 12 core (8+4)
- single fan
- 8GB vs 16GB
-

Added to ur list.

After checking the event show, they keep talk on compare with M1 instead of M2.

Especially the M3 Pro is only a little faster than M2 Pro.

Whoever have M2 Pro definitely not worth to upgrade.

Skip this time, wait for M4 Pro. 😊

Ya, that was intentional bro, I waited for the M2 Pro to launch to buy the M1 Pro on discount

What is the edu price for the base model M3 Macbook Pro?

icic.

I think anyone with an M1 that’s not doing intensive workflows don’t even need to upgrade. Marcus of MKBHD commented that he too doesn’t see any need to upgrade his current M1 Max laptop

Totally agreed. See what is happen next year. This year skip.

hmm and they totally removed the m2 options now, so cannot compare price
