unless urgent, I would recommend wait for the M4 version. (M4 CPU seems much better than M3).

Apple just announced the M3 variants in March. They aren't likely to update them to the M4 until next year if the past is anything to go by.

Shouldn't it be every 2 generations for Apple though? Like M[n-2]?

Interesting. If this leads to M2 15 inch model with same specs to go $1299 or lower, then it will be awesome. I see it occasionally for $1399 which is ok.

Or every thread about any tech. People are always telling others to wait for a new phone, a new graphics card, the PS5 Pro, etc.

This is how some people end up owning nothing. They always wait instead of picking something and buying it.

It shows 1649.

Plus direct from Apple it's 1699, so even at 1549 it's only a marginal deal IMO.

I'd rather shoot for an M2 with 16GB ram around 1149 if possible.

The 15" M2 16GB is still running $1499 at Best Buy, so I'd be really interested if you've got a source for $1149!

For $200 more you can get the M3 Pro at microcenter.
