> Its likely that the current m3 will remain usable as a laptop for a few more years due to extra ram and storage, but it has a shelf life for high end workloads...

Isn't that my point exactly? (Sorry if I miss explained myself, not a native speaker and I didn't quite proofread my comment either)

What I want to say is, I have the feeling my M3 is going to provide good service for probably a longer time than Apple is expecting to, and the only reason that'll make me change is having the need - and the money - for a better option.

And I do think one of the biggest reasons as to why I might not make the switch is due to how incredible well this machine is engineered.

As I'm kind of Apple's target pop - I did buy, afterall, 2 machines from them in a very short span of time - the previous point I made plays against them.

> I'll give you all your money back for you M3, and give you the M1 you have/had only at a maxed out spec.

> Would you take the deal?

Depends on the deal, but very likely yes. Maxed out M1's are incredible capable machines in my opinion.

Thanks for your comment!
