History is one of the best indicators of future performance.
Ask yourself: How long have you kept you previous Mac before upgrading?
If you have an established previous history of buying, keeping & using your previous Mac for awhile (at least 7+ years) then buying upgrades with your initial purchase for the purpose of “future proofing” might be a reasonable strategy.
But if you have a previous history of upgrading your purchase after just a few years. You probably shouldn’t consider “future proofing”.
If you think this purchase will be different than your previous purchases. (I will keep this Mac for a lot longer than my previous purchases). You are probably deluding yourself, and you shouldn’t be considering “future proofing” either.
