Any M1/M2/M3 Pro chip will blow your mind compared to any previous Intel MacBook Pro.

I regret waiting for M2 Pro and wasted so much time working on a slow 2017 MacBook Pro.

The battery in my 2017 work-supplied MBP exploded, and they replaced it with a 2019, which has even slower single core performance. In this economy we're not buying any new machines, just stockpiling old ones from layoffs as reserves. So I'll be stuck with Intel for the foreseeable future - assuming I have that sort of job security.

2019 was a low moment for macbooks. the 2019 (last intel macbook) I had was trash, overheated poor battery life, docker would lag it into oblivion, etc.
