I already have an M1 Air, and I'm looking to buy the 14 MBP just for the display (working outdoors yay), battery life, and RAM (16GB + higher bandwith). There's enough horsepower on the M1 for me, not even noticeable compared to the i7 MBP 16.

The 14” has several hours less of battery than the M1 Air. Dealbreaker if I’m honest. https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/?modelList=MacBook-Air-M1,...

That's.. interesting. Seems like the "wireless web" stat is really helped by the additional 2 efficiency cores on the Air, while the video stat is helped by the dedicated media silicon on the new Pro. Not to mention on what brightness (40% brightness on Pro is 100% brightness on air). Good to keep in mind.

Many types of programming require big resources these day. Training machine learning model is the classical example.
But also those who run multiple VMs at the same time.

I tried this route a few years ago but gave up out of sheer frustration. I wonder if it's improved now. At this point I'm more inclined to setup my local stack in AWS and be done with it. Like no local laptop testing at all.
If our stuff makes M1 runs slow ... It's probably poorly optimized code.
Of course game dev is exempt from this.
