New MacBook Pro Models Feature HDMI 2.1 Port Instead of HDMI 2.0

To think that this is enough for some people to upgrade and spend thousands of dollars for

These MacBook Pros are marketed to professionals; I've never understood this sentiment. A good segment of the consumers these machines are engineered for are using them to facilitate their careers in development, design, music and video production, and numerous other industries. These are pivotal to those individuals' doing their work. In some cases that additional power equals time savings, which can translate directly to more income.

So yes, it is enough. I spent over $4k on my 16" MacBook Pro without thinking twice; as a Product/UX Designer, it's the main tool I use to earn a very good income. I will upgrade with nearly every hardware refresh to ensure I'm getting the most from my machine.

Long story short, if it's too much machine for you, there are other, less expensive options available.

Yes, but is the SD card reader updated to read faster?

or if you already have a m1 pro/max, just use the thunderbolt port? 😂

Apple puts hdmi 2.0 people complain.

Apple puts hdmi 2.1 people say it’s unnecessary.

It's a huge upgrade over my current MBP.

I suppose you can still sell the "old" machine to recoup the majority of the cost.
