Between personal and home, I've had a:

M1 (16Gb)

M1 Pro (16Gb)

M2 Pro (16Gb)

M3 Pro (32Gb)

M4 Air (24Gb)

Currently switch between the M2 Pro and the M4 Air, and the Air is noticeable snappier in everyday tasks. The 17' M3 Pro is the faster machine, but I prefer not to lug it around all day, so it gets left home and occasionally used by the wife.

What is a 17' M3 Pro?

A 17 foot tall MacBook, which was Steve's original vision sketched on a napkin.

Not the 17 inch tall one they built and put on stage for the MacWorld keynote speech - that was in danger of being trod upon by a dwarf.

Was a great speech nonetheless. Shame about what happened to the drummer though. Best leave it unsolved, really.

Almost certain it is just a 16in M3 Pro, but mistyped.

that's some serious mistyping from 17 feet to 16 inches

More like a " mistyped as ' (same button in english kb layout, minus the shift button combo), and 6 mistyped as 7 (button right next to it).
