I would love to upgrade, the short battery life is just really immensely frustrating because I need my laptop a lot outside the house too. And it is often slow, especially with too many tabs open. But it's way too much money for me right now. My comment was more a reply to:

> Then after most devs switched to using M3 Macs, app performance will regress back to the baseline, making everything slow on M1/M2 machines, and basically unusable on Intel Macs

which I felt can't be true because my laptop is ancient by modern standards but still usable. Not as snappy as I would like it to be, but also not terrible or unusable.
