I could agree that Apple’s software is a big trade off but the hardware seems fine.

I don’t think much has changed since the 16” and 14” MacBook Pros came out and both had better hardware than was previously on offer.

IMHO they got the formula right with the 14” and I’m glad they’ve stuck with it.

All I could ask for is maybe faster GPU or TPU and more memory. Possibly the ability to use an eGPU again.

Otherwise it’s fine. I worry much more about macOS and what they’ve done with the UI.
