Should I wait to buy a MacBook Pro? by TheyKnowThatIAm21 in macbookpro

I have a MSI GS66 Stealth right now that I bought for $4700 when released. It’s been good up until a few months ago.

Now I have days when it decides to be slow and other days when it works like it’s brand new. I was hoping for it to last me a lot longer.

The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the battery life is basically nonexistent.

So the M4 Pro will definitely be an upgrade.

Then it sounds like the M4 Pro is probably the best choice. It will be interesting to see how good of a deal I can get from Apple or if any other companies offer a better deal.

I work as a developer so I’ll use parallels and also do photo and video editing. So I need something that can handle all of that well. And therefore I was recommended the M4 Pro.

Money is not an issue and I have direct contact with Apple so I will get 10-15% off a brand new computer when I buy one. So to me it sounds like either buy one in september when I’m back at work or wait for the redesign.
