This or preowned M4 pro 24/512gb ?Both are about the same price
At the current laddering of the M-series processors, you are almost always better off with a previous gen higher ladder chip than a lower ladder current gen chip in terms of performance and usability, eg M4Pro vs M5, M3Max vs M4Pro etc., unless they make significant change to the physical design

Just bought a Macbook Air M4 24GB RAM + 512GB SSD from BB using the PayPal 20% back deal for $1K all-in - should I abandon ship and grab the pro instead? I'm having a hard time gauging Air M4 24GB RAM vs Pro M5 16GB RAM...

lol that's funny because coincidentally I was on the same ship as yours. I bought a 15inch M3 MacBook Air 24GB(I want big screen) for $1099 about a month ago, but have been thinking if I want to upgrade to an open box 14inch M4Pro with 24GB. Ultimately I decided to use what I have instead of selling and buying and potentially losing bunch of money to gain the performance that, honestly, I don't really need. You should gauge your own needs and hassle factor to make this decision lol
