I’m loving my M3 Pro, but I got a Gaming Laptop for a deal on Black Friday which makes the M3 Pro redundant. Should I keep my M3 Pro or wait for the M4 Pro next year ?
Got a tip for us?

M3 Pro owners, will you be upset if the M4 Pro embarrasses the M3 Pro ?

I never related the M3 with gaming. If you're a gamer, just go with your gaming PC.
How does a gaming laptop make your Mac redundant? Two different tools for different tasks. The winning move is put your gaming laptop and a Macbook Air in your bag.
If you think that your M3 Pro is redundant, why would you need to upgrade to M4 Pro? It looks like you don't need a Mac at all
The next iteration of M-series will always be better than the previous versions in some form. I just got an M3 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro and I don't expect to upgrade until the M5 or M6 chips come out.
I can tell you right now if one of the guys in the locker room pulled out his M4 Pro in front of everyone I definitely wouldn't be rushing to show my M3 Pro…if I had one.
Seems to me the M4 will just be another M2 situation. Better across the board but not enough to be a big deal.
Why would it be any different, they’re going to be on 3nm for a good while.

I'd get the value out of it ASAP, if needing a Mac go with a base Air. Pointless to have the MBP and not have use for it, just a waste of $$$$.
Q-6
Unless you had an maxed out M3 Max, then you'd be showing everyone who's boss.
Locker room guys always pulling out their silicone in front of everyone, meh
