I’m loving my M3 Pro, but I got a Gaming Laptop for a deal on Black Friday which makes the M3 Pro redundant. Should I keep my M3 Pro or wait for the M4 Pro next year ?
Got a tip for us?

M3 Pro owners, will you be upset if the M4 Pro embarrasses the M3 Pro ?

I never related the M3 with gaming. If you're a gamer, just go with your gaming PC.
How does a gaming laptop make your Mac redundant? Two different tools for different tasks. The winning move is put your gaming laptop and a Macbook Air in your bag.

If you think that your M3 Pro is redundant, why would you need to upgrade to M4 Pro? It looks like you don't need a Mac at all
The next iteration of M-series will always be better than the previous versions in some form. I just got an M3 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro and I don't expect to upgrade until the M5 or M6 chips come out.

I can tell you right now if one of the guys in the locker room pulled out his M4 Pro in front of everyone I definitely wouldn't be rushing to show my M3 Pro…if I had one.
Seems to me the M4 will just be another M2 situation. Better across the board but not enough to be a big deal.
Why would it be any different, they’re going to be on 3nm for a good while.

I'd get the value out of it ASAP, if needing a Mac go with a base Air. Pointless to have the MBP and not have use for it, just a waste of $$$$.

I don't understand the question... unless m4 pro will provide some kind of miraculous gaming experience that can compete with windows.
Unless you had an maxed out M3 Max, then you'd be showing everyone who's boss.
