Should a man even consider new machines or aim for a choice older refurb model these days?

[QUOTE="Toroidal, post: 1922754, member: 415933"] I'll make this short, I have a 10 year old machine and I love it but let's face it, soon it won't be fast enough for intense computing, or maybe just too weak. It does ok while always reaching cooking temperatures for an hour or 2 or more. Would a later model 2023 M2 MBP be a good idea for up to date constant work, or is there a really good target model that has tech value for a long time the same way mine has held up for a decade? I'm also wondering if maybe just a 13" maxed out MB is ok these days, and even weirder an iPad Pro with a pencil and keyboard? I like that Apple is adding keyboards to touch screens instead of making notebooks with touchscreens like other companies, but is the radical idea of replacing a notebook with an iPad Pro just too radical? Yeah the price of a maxed iPad is preposterous, compared to a MB that you expect to be that price. Just polling for thoughts in the current environment. [/QUOTE]
