And I reckon those of us who just bought a shiny new Intel Mac in the past few months might be questioning our decision. Should have held on to that 2010 MBP one more year?

Nah, I'd have to wait until early next year to buy an ARM Mac, and mine will be fine for a long time to come.

I am pleased I didn't splurge for the 32GB of RAM, however. I'll do that with my next one.

I was waiting to upgrade my 2013 16gb/512. I really see no point

And without upgradable parts, it really doesn’t make sense

I was thinking the same, but I always avoid gen1 Apple gear anyway, so it’d basically be another 2 years before it’d have been time to upgrade.

Buying a Mac right now, need to replace my EOL Mac Pro. I definitely won't be getting a Pro now. Probably just an iMac with more RAM and SSD instead of Fusion. I really wish I knew when they were updating their iMac and Mac Pro lines.

Typing this on a 2010 MBP, bought a new MBP this weekend (was later canceled by the seller b/c of inventory issues) and thinking about waiting another year
