This will probably be my next MacBook whenever the time comes. I have just recently gotten a 2020 Intel MBA - the last before the Apple Silicon transition - and will probably ride that for another few years until Apple kills Intel support entirely and then look for a used one of these.

Good take as always. I wish he had compared its value to the 14" MBP though. That $1800 for 16/512 is only $200 less than the 14" MBP with the same plus all the Pro extras like Pro chip, miniLED etc.

1" is 1" but the 14" just seems like the better value at that point. I suppose that’s probably what they’re hoping we’ll think.
