A recent example of this is that I recently sold my 13” iPad Pro and wanted to use the funds for a new M4 MacBook Air that I have had my eye on for several months. Best Buy just happened to have it on sale so I jumped on it. However, after spending several days with it, I realized that while it is super nice, I don’t actually need it.

I recently replaced my M1 MacBook Air with a base-model M4 MacBook Pro. Like Brandon, after a few days with it I couldn’t really tell much difference from the M1 Air and I pretty much expected that. I would’ve been perfectly content with the Air, but the larger screen on the Pro was the real draw. That’s also why I skipped the M4 Air. It wouldn’t have given me anything extra when what I really wanted was a bigger display for my aging eyes.
In the end, it’s a good reminder that being content with what we have is usually good enough.
