I custom ordered a 14" MBP months ago. It keeps getting kicked down the shipping road. I have not been charged the money by Apple. I need a computer bad (2013 15" is struggling to even charge).
Option A: Spend $300 to get my 15" 2013 MBP Charging Port replaced and a new battery (which zero's out the trade-in value), and wait till the 14" M2s arrive... or
Option B: Stick with the unit that will be here in a month (or two... geeez)
I'm dropping $4k on a computer I'll keep for 7+ years, I don't want to regret it. It's not about the 'latest,' but more about what M2 or any redesign, etc., will bring (Ok. Maybe the latest). Forbes this week says wait. Thoughts? Music Recording (logic & Protools), Web design, CAD, etc.
Note: an M2 update Mac Macrumors article recently stated: "Gurman's expectations. He believes that Apple will not launch new MacBook Pro models with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chip until 2023, with the only new MacBook Pro model this year (2022) being a refreshed entry-level model with a 13-inch display and the less powerful M2 chip."
What I ordered: 14-inch MacBook Pro
