MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch

My first hope is that the Pro line leads to more ubiquitous ARM support for professional software tools.

I'm lucky that most of my WebDev workflow works fine on M1, but there are those rare instances I bump into something that doesn't work quite right. And unfortunately, these instances tend to be pretty frustrating.

My second hope is that more ubiquitous ARM support lights a fire under other CPU designers to build better high-performance ARM chips for other desktop operating systems. I've been interested in switching to Linux for some time, but the hardware/performance of my M1 Air simply has no real competition at the moment.

An ARM-powered Framework laptop running Arch is my dream.

Are there any recent examples of web development things that haven't worked right on the M1? I'm looking to upgrade but am worried about this.

Node 14 won't compile natively on arm64 right now. Though I do understand it's installable with Rosetta.
