If Apple are going to nickel and dime me, I will nickel and dime them by never paying for a new machine again. I have an M1 Pro now (second hand $300 off with 2 battery charges at the time [unwanted corporate purchase]), it's totally fine for my needs and my last laptop lasted 8 years (rMBP 2012). I can easily wait 6 more years and by then pick up somebody else's used M3 or M4 with an upgraded SSD and RAM. Fuck Apple pricing.

Most other companies you can’t get close to 8 years out of and still have a reasonable performing laptop.

I also have a M1 Pro and see no reason to upgrade to the m3 pro. You don’t need to keep buying the latest model

Agreed. Overall, my point is I'm not paying those insane upgrade prices.
