    Would the M3 Max 16 core depreciate faster than the cheaper 14 core version?

    Any idea if the top of the line Macbook Pro 16" unbinned M3 Max (16 core) would depreciate any faster than the binned 14 core version? Or would it be relatively the same depreciation? Just wondering as this affects my purchase decision. Ideally, I'd like to get something that depreciates...

    Space Black or Silver MacBook Pro? (Pro and Max chips only.)

    Who ever has brought a new MBP which colour did you go for and why? I personally went with the classic silver again as any dust and so on will show up more, plus the coating is only on the lid and not the inside.
