Usually I purchase MBP straight from Apple on launch day. I checked the apple web site for the M3 Professional after which additionally checked refurb/ebay/swappa/amazon/b&h. I discovered the used and discounted pricing relatively too good to omit.
It’s very arduous to search out used MBP with 32GB+ with M2/3 Execs, I assume they’re customized construct/ordered so individuals who have ordered them will hold it longer. There are extra availability with base fashions MBP, so the one base mannequin with with 32GB+ are the M2/3 Maxes. Thus far I obtained these:
MBP 14” 1TB 36GB
M3 Professional 12/18,
Apple new $2600
Apple Refurb $2380
M3 Max 14/30
Apple new $3200
Apple Refurb $2720
Used $2300-2400 (some nonetheless with apple care or guarantee)
I additionally appeared on the M2 costs which I didn’t suppose the value discount was that a lot in comparison with the M3 in the meanwhile. It’s arduous to not purchase a used M3 Max in the meanwhile.
I’m nonetheless pondering whether or not I ought to watch for the M4 bulletins (to see if the M3 Max costs will drop considerably). An M3 Max would simply fulfill my computing wants, I don’t suppose an M4 Professional full value can be higher than the M3 Max, besides perhaps in battery life?
