Stick with it, I don't think this new model offers anything significantly improved compared to m3 pro
I have one from 2013 and the updates stopped. Is the 1499 better one from a longevity or the 1799 going to use it for lot of documents , excel , vs code and movie making

$1400 for a laptop with 512GB (non-upgradable) SSD…

I know, I know, this is a common complaint, but my thinking/reasoning is a bit different;

I honestly just don't understand how Apple thinks this (latest-gen) laptop is even remotely competitive in todays laptop market EVEN against Apple's own offerings...

I mean, if 512gb is enough for a given buyer, then an M1, M2, or M3 is more than enough as well for those same buyers at about half the cost or less.

It's kinda gone from greed to just stupidity (IMHO)… Unless their goal is to push buyers towards Mac Mini's since 512GB is so small (that you'll need an external SSD), making the laptop far less portable…

I get the 'small drive logic' for the base model (at sub $1K) , but this is supposedly a PRO model… Who could need this minor bump in performance over a base model but not need more storage?

Perhaps the Pro is the sacrificial config to make the MAX more attractive? I really have no idea what Apple is thinking anymore.

I guess maybe they're banking on the fact that this would be worth it for users that want to just have another couple of years until forced obsolescence… like those who like to incrementally update thier laptops every year along with their phone? Again, total guess as it makes no other business sense compared to their own previous (and available) offerings.

I mean if this massively made Apple AI more accessable (over previoys gens) this might make sense, but 'Apple AI' is still pretty much half vaporware at this point. And when it's not, it's going to need a lot more power and a lot more storage than this minor/expensive upgrade provides (over the M1, M2, and M3).
The average user doesnt need more than 512GB for a drive. Unless you are working a media production job, the way most files done virtually (Google Drive, etc) means people barely need more than the system and apps for storage.

Like, Im a filmmaker, I own a 1TB because when im doing a job, offloading all my footage to my laptop is nice. But even with all my editing software installed, and a bunch of media sitting on my computer, Im still only at 350GB right now. And Id bet Im a 5-10% use case at best.

Worth upgrading from Macbook M1 Pro?

Apple holds up for a while so nothing materially wrong, but probably more productive with a faster model.

I don't do video editing or anything like that but I have tons of windows / tabs and applications open at most times and speed is everything for me with a lot of time sensitive things as my job.

Just came here to post this deal. Hell of a deal on the just-released M4 MacBook Pro. I bought it at B&H with my Payboo card and paid $1399 out the door.

Hmm maybe someone else can pitch in, not an expert on this. I know the oled version is set for 2026-2027 that's the one I'm waiting for to spec out

I think they know that the people who NEED the extra on board ssd will pay for it. For me, 512 is more than enough as I'm not working with large files and if I needed to store photos etc I would prefer an external one anyways. I agree though, bad pricing moddle
Yeah, muddled moddle.

Man, they sure are making it difficult for me to decide…. Thought I was getting the M3 MacBook Air with 24GB memory for $1299 but now for another $100 I can get M4 MacBook Pro if I drop memory to 16GB…

Will Apple price match this if I just bought it for $1499 with education discount? I'm still in the return window.

Just my 2 cents. (And no, I am not an Apple hater, I just don't see the business logic for this from a marketing perspective).

(Well, at least its not another 8gb memory config Winkwoot)
I like your reasoned analysis. So what older MacBook Pro would you recommend with more storage and a better deal without compromising too much in performance?

Just my meaningless two cents, but I prefer the Air keyboard to the Pro.

Also like the way it looks more, and the weight of course!

But I'm one of those crazy guys who has zero issue with 8gb/256gb.

Is this worth it over the current Amazon deal on the MacBook Air M3 (24GB RAM, 512SSD), especially considering return policy & AppleCare through Costco?

Update: Apple won't price adjust AFTER a purchase, so returning it back to Apple. Bought from B&H for $1399 out the door, no taxes with their Payboo card.

Imo, yes. Unless you really need the 24gb of ram, you get a better screen, better speakers (seriously really good), to me a better keyboard, more ports, and a newer chip.
