Hi,

I purchased a 2021 Macbook pro 14 inch M1 PRO 32 GB 1 TB last summer. I want to trade it for Macbook PRO 16 inch. What is a good time to upgrade. Should I go for M2 PRO or M2 MAX? I use MATLAB extensively for my work.

Thanks!

Don't trade it in, you get about half the money you would get from selling it. If I were you, I would wait for the M3 models.
Only upgrade to M2 if you're going to get M2 Max. The performance difference is too small between M1 Pro and M2 Pro.
