I'm still using my M1 Max 32GB/1TB MacBook Pro 16" from 2021 and its blazing through everything I throw at it (Full-Stack software engineering and design).
Don't see even a slight reason to upgrade so far.

The performance increase from Intel to Apple silicon was staggering. The performance increases within the M-class chips far less so. Far less than what Apple has been toting in all those synthetic scores they show annually. In the real world, M1 is very comparable to M4, especially when looking at raw core counts between the models (an M1 Max will still outperform an M4 Pro in the real world).

People seem convinced an M4 is light years ahead of the M1 because Apple creates that type of fervour to push sales.
 
Still running my launch day M1 mini (16 gb).

It's still fast.

Only thing I would want is a bit more GPU (for the few games I do play) but I don't want it enough to make the jump to a Mx -Pro model yet.
