Buying Advice
Evaluate if you should buy now based on specs, age, and update cycle.
Minor spec difference from the previous gen and late in its cycle (45 months elapsed). We recommend waiting for the next model or considering used/outdated alternatives.
Smart Alternative: Used & Outdated
If the latest model is too expensive or performance difference is small, these older recommended models offer excellent value.
