The reasoning for the rest you can read in my previous piece. However, when it turned out that the M1 Max offered literally twice the performance of the M1 Pro, then I found it impossible to resist. If I were going to replace Macs every three years, that would make it tougher to justify the premium for a top-spec model, as you never recover the price difference on resale. I’ve historically maxed-out my Macs on the basis of maximizing the useful life of the machine, before reliability concerns led me to re-second-guess that approach.
