As for your typical user I don't think you'll see any noticeable real-world difference between this and M2 Pro and M3 Pro. As long as Apple supports this and doesn't end OS support prematurely (they shouldn't unless they are greedy) because the M-series architecture is so similar.
This MacBook is listed on Woot as New Open Box, which the Woot item condition glossary says is as follows:
"New Open Box - This product has never been used. The product has been opened to add, remove, or replace items such as warranty cards, user manuals, or accessories. The item may come in a retail box but could ship in a plain box. New Open Box items come backed by a manufacturer or vendor warranty OR our very own Woot! Warranty"
Also, someone asks about AppleCare, and a Woot helper says:
"This comes with a 90 day Woot Warranty and we cannot guarantee that Apple Care will be able to be used."
So... maybe there's a chance! My fingers (and toes) are all crossed 🤗 I'll report back once i receive it to let everyone know.

Now, if I could just figure out how to deal with my iCloud that also the 2 TB limit, life would be swell
And yes, I know I can upgrade to the 6 TB level, but that's $30 bucks a month. Can you say ouch?!?
Any good suggestions from you helpful SDers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all 🤗
This is not a good deal.
With the M3 coming out, this is mid at best.
[edit]
8TB??
Wait a minute, are we sure that's not a typo?
I also remember seeing a post here that a similar Apple laptop had a ridiculous amount of RAM, like 98 or something.
Haven't seen that one in a while either.
I may need to recall my post here. We'll see.

In addition to people working with lots of raw video or audio files, programmers and data scientists often work with lots of huge files and/or Docker images, virtual machines, etc.
You can use an external drive, and in the past I've just velcro'd an external SSD to my laptop lid lol... this is not a bad solution, honestly.
But, that has drawbacks. Especially if you are a professional who is often on the go. You lose a USB port. Things bump into it and detach the drive and possibly damage your USB port. Etc. And it won't be quite as fast as internal.
