This is fine to me… 2026 is the year I start looking to replace my M1. I usually go 5-7 years between refreshes.
yeah this news is only disappointing for people who buy new computers every year (is that even a thing?). Whatever upgrades it has will also feature the last 4+ years of updates, so to someone coming from an M4 yeah yikes. But for my m1 max? it will be noticeable.
The only upgrade that matters for most non-gaming or video production use cases any more is RAM anyway.
True… I still regularly use my 2008 17” MBP and it’s always the RAM that’s the limiting factor.
