I was planning to upgrade my 16" M1 Pro to the M6 Pro 16" MBP later this year.

But as soon as I heard Cook say they're planning price increases last week, I ran out and bought a 15" M5 Air 24GB/1TB for $1444 at MicroCenter.

The M6 Pro/Max MBP generation is going to be super expensive given the RAM and storage costs, brand new design, OLED, and TSMC N2 node.

I'm confused why you would replace your 16" M1 Pro with a 15" M5 Air... on which axes is that an upgrade over your M1 Pro?

The M5 air is much faster than M1 Pro (I have the same setup as OP)

		For sure, on paper - I'm curious, do you actually notice that difference in your day-to-day? I struggle to think of times in my usage of my computer where I think "this feels slow", but maybe I'm blind to it.

I supposedly just snagged the exact same model on Amazon for $1549, as opposed to $1999 on Apple’s site today!

		I doubt these discounts will last much longer.
