snippets: The general consensus seems to be that Apple is unlikely to continue to support ANY intel processors beyond the next year or so - it isn't typical for Apple to continue to offer OS updates beyond a certain point and all the intel based macs have or are reaching that point... I wouldn't want to be relying on up to date software when the OS is no longer being supported., Lots to consider but again, any M class mac that fits your budget and specs (screen size etc) is going to be a better buy, especially if you want any degree of future proofing.

snippets: basically the new entry-level macbook pro looks exactly like the more expensive models except it only has two usb-c ports instead of four, you might also find the two ports somewhat limiting for example if you're charging your laptop and you have something connected to the other port you really don't have any other connections and that can be a major downside albeit if you do need more ports it's not a completely lost cause you can simply buy an adapter that has a bunch of USB a USB C SD card slot ports for not that much money you just have to remember to carry it around with you
