No one seems to be commenting on the 140 watt power adapter.

With the caveat that I already dropped $7k (after tax) on a top-spec model, I am very interested in seeing how hot these get. Particularly in light of how cool the M1 runs.

Prior to my current M1 MBP, my daily driver was a maxed-out 16" MBP. It's a very solid computer, but it functions just as well as a space heater.

And its power brick is only 100 watts...

The 140w power adapter is for fast charging I believe.
