Well it's frustrating that basically no matter how close you buy a device to launch it's almost immediately invalidated. I got an M2 max 3 months ago and it's already last gen...
What is the definition of invalidated? I am assuming your machine is still capable at doing what it did 3 months ago.
My guess: It’s not the shiniest, newest toy model anymore.
Many people want the latest greatest just for the sake of having it.
I do understand my machine is still (more than) capable. But it is frustrating when the release cycle is so rapid, it's not just a desire for 'latest and greatest', it's an almost immediate loss of bang for buck unless you buy it basically immediately.
