Return or keep 16" MBP

[darkgremio]

Hey, got a good deal on a Macbook Pro 16" with 1TB storage (paid $1,899 USD). Is the upgrades substanial enough to justify returning. Generally just using this laptop for work such Data Grip, SQL, and Quicksight where all heavy lifting is done on AWS servers.

Largely needed the screen real estate and killer battery life, along with the occasional WoW Classic raid (well once a week or more)

Probably not worth it - you got a great deal on your 16!

Do you really want to spend 800 (or more) to get a comparable 1TB equipped MBP?

I say keep it; it's a great computer! If you get the M2 MBP, I don't think you'll notice a bit of difference in real world use. But your wallet will definitely be lighter!!

The M2 has a good GPU speed increase over the M1 so you will see a difference in Warcraft.

What are the specs? Is this the M1 Pro, M1 Max, or the 2019 i9 model?

You're asking a question where the "right" answer is ultimately dictated by personal preference. That question being: Are two-extra CPU cores and a few extra GPU cores worth an extra $600 and half your SSD space?

For me personally it would be a "no"
