I would buy the latest Intel Macbook Pro and wait for ARM later. After two years they would have upgraded the ARM processor to something better by that time.

Just don't buy the first version of any Apple product. It is the first to be obsolete like back in 2014, the first version of the Apple Watch for example, ran 32 bit and now 64 bit watches are here.

“don't buy the first version of any Apple product. It is the first to be obsolete”

Not the strongest of arguments. The second version will be the second to be obsolete, etc. A valid question would be whether first versions see shorter support (presumably because teething problems in the new design made supporting the hardware harder)

Not always. The second iPad was supported far longer than the first. IOS 9 vs IOS 5.

Now that I've had coffee, I realise my comment makes no sense. Parent was saying exactly the same.
