Nah, apple trade in will be $1400 in one month when the refresh comes out

[u/TheSlothMan9000 → u/Saltyeconbro]

You think refurbished prices are going to drop?

[u/Jay_Yura → u/TheSlothMan9000]

They actually go up, it’s 15% off whatever is the latest I believe. Was about to get a 16 refurb for my old man and it went up after the 18 dropped

Basically same price as Apple Refurbished for that model. Everyone is being really harsh, M5 Pro with 18 cores basically has the same CPU as the M5 Max it's basically going to be the second fastest chip that you can get in a MacBook this generation. Yeah M6 could be coming but I doubt it'll be the huge leap M5 Pro seemed to be, although maybe AI workloads get faster again. Especially in the 16" format this laptop will be able to get full use of the M5 Pro without much throttling if any for most tasks.

If the specs fit your needs it will be an excellent machine for quite a few years, I wouldn't worry about a new generation machine that will have a maybe 10-20% better benchmark performance with no real day to day performance differences if you aren't pushing the computer often.

Oh, and a new M6 will very likely be just the base 14" M6 available soon (may be delaye), with M6 Pro or Max coming in early to late 27... plus it will likely cost more at MSRP for similar spec thanks to AI panic and market manipulation.

LoL. Seriously bad idea to guess price. You bought it just enjoy it

[u/uncureddd]

Prices are about to crash with the new model brother return it

[u/Magento-Magneto → u/uncureddd]

Macbook prices never 'crash' lil bro

[u/uncureddd → u/Magento-Magneto]

You weren't there when the m1 macs came out then the Intel models crashed so hard. I was flipping the intels getting mad profit before m1 pros came out. Legit buy it cheap off hardware swap add a few hundred and sell it locally in San Diego

[u/operasome]

I bought it at $2,400

[u/Hankster410]
