I get the shilling for some sweet affiliate revenue, but anybody buying a new MacBook today is wasting their money.

I bought one recently as the value for my trade-in was going down a lot. That being said, I'm happy with the MPB M1/16/512. I do wish Amazon would offer more non-stock models of the Mac's they sell beyond just storage options.

it still only has 8GB of ram

I believe only Apple is allowed to sell with more than 8GB of RAM.

Hurry up and release the new macbook pros and imacs...

 

[Mr. Dee]

I bought mine back in December. Only regret is I could have waited a little longer to get better deal. Oh well!

If you buy a new Mac today, you are wasting your money. I would simply wait. Newer will be even better.

True because they are coming out with another MacBook this year.

And no 1TB of SSD Storage.

It’s always like that. It’s never a good time to buy a Max.

Buying a M1 MacBook right now, is like buying an Intel core duo in 2006. Very quickly you find that it does not have enough power, memory and storage and you end up replacing it a year or two later.

Something better is always just right around the corner, but.....


I doubt the low end options will get a big refresh anytime soon.

The "new" MacBooks coming out later this year will be the actual "Pros" so expect somewhere close to 2000$ starting price.

My (wild) speculations:
- new chips will be based on the A15 design (the next iPhone will be released just a few months later)
- base "M2" with similar spec as the M1 and a 10-20% performance bump in the base 24" iMac and 14" MacBook(Pro?Air?Nada?)
- "M2X" as BTO on 24" iMac/ 14" MB and base 16" MBP and 32" iMac
- maybe an "M2Z" as BTO for the above
- maybe some "M2?" for spacegrey MacMini
- M1 Macs will stay on sale well into 2022

If you need a new Mac today, you should simply buy one today. There is always a newer and better version around the corner. Don’t waste your time waiting.

But... laptops, tablets and even smartphones have so much power these days. I don’t know what kind of heavy lifting you do, but my 2016 i7 still seems super fast. Feels like the newest version, if you didn’t know better.

Ordinarily I would agree with that statement. However, buying a lower end M1 chipped Mac might leave one disappointed as they are lower powered and so many of the apps have not yet been adapted for optimum use on the M1 chips.

Well, according to Geekbench, the M1 Macbook Pro is the fastest one alive, even faster than the fastest 16-inch i9.

I got this deal on Amazon last week. Great deal and great MacBook regardless of what’s around the corner. Great if you need something NOW or are in a pinch. That being said, after taking the time to do a little more research, I’m going to return it for the M1 MacBook Air. Same CPU/GPU, thinner, no Touch Bar that will soon be obsolete if rumors are true. Prob a little better resale value too when you do want to upgrade.

Well, according to Geekbench, the M1 Macbook Pro is the fastest one alive, even faster than the fastest 16-inch i9.

Even more reason for not to upgrade anything M1 anytime soon. These chips should have gone into mid range Macs with the lowend either staying Intel or getting an M1-redux with half the CPU/GPU core.

My guess is that they did it this way to send out maximum shock but will have to find a way to reestablish the pecking order and <1000$ Macs getting the same ships or even the same generation as the big boys just won't do that.

I’m sorry your trade in was loosing value. Apple marketing tactics are horrible.

You can buy the 16GB RAM versions of the M1 Macs from any authorized dealer. I just think most are stocking predominantly 8GB versions. B&H has some 16GB models in stock, even 16GB 2TB in space grey.

Very tempting...

Thanks, didn't know that.

I wouldn't buy anything with a Touch Bar at this point. If I had to buy a M1 MacBook, it'd be the MBA, just to avoid Touch Bar; and it's powerful enough that it'd do the job nicely, though I'd rather have the additional power of the Pro. Rumor is that Touch Bar is going away. If that is true, next MacBook Pros are going to be fantastic. First we got the Escape key and reliable keyswitches back, next we will hopefully get Fn keys back.
