The only downside for me with the original M1 was the lack of external monitor support like the previous Pro had. That’s been fixed with the M1 Max.

Can you be more specific? I dock my M1 Air to a 4k display all the time.

Dock it to two - the M1 can only handle one external display; the previous Intel MacBook Pros could do four; and the M1 Max brings this back. I have four external monitors + the internal and the M1 couldn't do it; the M1 Max can so I held out.

(You can do a hacky thing with DisplayLink adapters that emulate a virtual screen somehow but it IS hacky - https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/19166... )
