"Waiting for the next thing" is a bad idea any day. If you can wait then you should start asking yourself if you need it at all.

Just buy when you need it. Even M1Pro/Max still has plenty performance for tasks at hand.

M3 macs already have doubled ram, they have two base models now, 16Gb base isn't a custom model anymore.

True, but if the 'next one' is due in just a few weeks and is expected to boast significant improvements, I'd argue that's a different story.

Yep!

Haha, maybe.

Haha, alright.

It's Apple. Nothing is free. Guess is base prices go up by $100 - which is still a 'deal' because normal price for memory upgrade is $200.
