    Other XS Max to 15 Pro Max?

    I’m still rocking an XS Max from 2018, and I’m on the fence about upgrading. It’s in pristine condition cosmetically. It can be slightly laggy here and there, but performance is still quite good for my uses. Biggest issue is the battery, but I can live with it, and I’m never in a situation...

    I was thinking of trading in a mid-2018 512gb/16gb MacBook Pro towards a base M2 Mac mini.
