I'm a computer science student who does software/AI work in university. I currently use a 13" 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. It's getting a bit sluggish for doing the AI training and software work I do. I want to get a new MacBook Pro, so I'm considering get one after WWDC in June this year when they update it. However, I've seen the rumors saying 2026 will be a big year and they'll make the laptop thinner and get rid of the notch. That's very tempting, and I think I might be able to wait one more year for it.

There is a new Mac studio in the works. IDK when it is going to be released nor do I know if the Mac Pro is going to include a M3 Ultra chip, or a M5 Ultra chip (M4 Ultra is unlikely to happen). If
If there is anything I missed, let me know!
