Hello,
I’m considering buying a MacBook Pro 16" with M1 Pro in 2026.
The specific unit I’m looking at has 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, battery health 100% with only 58 cycles, and is in 9/10 condition — offered for ₨320,000 PKR (1100USD).
My primary usage will be:
I’m aware that macOS updates for this model are likely to stop around 2028. Should I go ahead with this purchase, or would it be better to spend extra and get a newer machine (e.g., M5 or later) instead?
I’d appreciate your honest advice. Thanks!
