Think about your needs and what you actually do with your computer, and if there would be a significant difference with an upgrade.

I'm still on M1 and I know that M2 and M3 would not change my experience for my web development work.

But yeah, if you're just going off the maker's marketing materials, then yeah, you'd always feel behind.

The M1 is seriously good. I have a base model M1 with 16GB of RAM, and I've spent approximately zero time waiting while it processes or opens things.

Granted, no gaming or number-crunching (that goes on a server!), just coding, browsers, and Excel.
