Better screen, better thermals (this is really important, hopefully they do it right), larger battery (almost 15%).

At 1500$ for 16GB version 13" Pro seems like a really good value deal for on the go workstation - if M1 benchmarks come out decent.

They should have had better thermals in the previous 13" Pro, but...

That's just a headscratcher.

I have an 2018 MBP with an i9/Vega20 - I can testify how terrible their thermals are. But given that this thing can be passively cooled - even apple crappy venting will probably do a decent job with this chip. Need to see what happens when the reviews land.
