How much was the base spec 14” before? It’s now £2,149
So the only update is the chip?
Yea £1899 for the previous 14 MBP base, but it can be had cheaper.£1900 I think? for the 8 core M1 Pro?
Got mine a little after launch and it was £17xx for the base. So they're looking at £300-400 more for 2 extra cores.How much was the base spec 14” before? It’s now £2,149
Unless your company is buying it or you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, the M1 is easily better value, and you can use the change to get more memory or storage.If you have an m1 variant it just isn’t worth getting the m2 version.
Definitely glad I bought my M1 Pro 16 when I did, paid ~£1900 at launch through TheEdustore.If you have an m1 variant it just isn’t worth getting the m2 version. The faster Wi-Fi I’m sure would be great for the 3 seconds a day you need the boost and the extra power from the CPU would be noticeable when rendering something out with a stop watch but given those are the only changes, I can’t see why anyone would buy it who already has the 2021 model.
The price isn’t great but it does have proper hdmi now..
Base 16” is up £200 and the base 14” is up a whopping £250!! That was a memory or SSD upgrade before plus change from that £250 with the 14” which arguably made the devices a better investment than these new ones.
Apple needs a rethink in the UK.
Good saving there.I just purchased a M1 Pro 14” from the refurb store. I wanted something mobile again, coming from a iMac 27 2020.
Good saving there.
Yea rumour is the iMac isn’t being refreshed until Q4.Even if I purchased through the discount at work, I’d still have been paying more than the refurb store.
Was a no brainier for me. Hopefully I can sell the iMac for a good price. They seem to be holding values well.
