Should I buy a heavily discounted M1 Pro 16" or wait for M2/M3 black friday deals? (alien.top)

Hello, I am 3rd year CS bachelor student and in need of a new laptop. A relative of mine agreed to bring me one from US on January. I was wondering if it's wise to wait for M3 announcement/M2 deals or buy one of the M1 pros for very good value. What do you guys think?

Ex: M1 Pro 16" 16GB/1TB for $1800 M1 Max 16" 32GB/1TB for $2400 M2 Air 15" 16GB/512GB for $1450 (not really preffered)

Edit: I believe even M2 is strong enough for my needs but I really care about battery life, multitasking and the gorgeous display/speakers. That's why 16" is most preferred.

I am currently using a MacBook Pro 14” Base Model and I am a high school student studying CS Pre-University, in my opinion the M1 Pro is strong enough to run algorithms and tests so my recommendation is just the M1 Pro 16” for 1800 since its a very nice deal!!
