     @dansup Personally, facing a similar dilemma, I bought a m4 Mac mini with 24gb of ram (~1000 euro) and a thunderbolt enclosure with a 4tb SSD drive. In other words; gave up on having a Mac laptop (while awesome, storage/ram is too expensive) and instead also got a nice Linux laptop with 32gb of ram and 4tb internal storage.

     The only Mac specific activity I have is editing video/audio, as far as development goes I use the same software on both Mac/linux; zig/odin/python with sublime text.

     @dansup I'd say, update now, m4 was a worthy upgrade over the m3 and I doubt apple would give 2 big upgrades in a row. Plus, it would take at least 6 months until m5 is out.

     @dansup If the storage problem is really going to drive you bonkers, then I think you’ve already made the decision. 🤣

     There are some tax advantages (we’re both in 🇨🇦) to buying a computer in the last days of the year, so that’s worth considering.

     Don’t forget to check the Apple refurb store- same warranty, less expensive.

     I lease my machines, which is also handy, by making hardware upgrades regular.
