It's very tempting, but my MacBook Air M1 has been great and performance wise any improvement is probably barely noticeable in the day to day that I'd end up feeling like I just bought a new chassis. Which could still be nice.. although most of the time it's in clamshell attached to my monitor. I'll have to sleep on this!

They’ve been doing this with a lot of products for a long time. “Today we announce iPhone … with iPhone you can do anything!” I think it is very strange.
One of the first ways a cult gets everyone on the same page is altered language and speech patterns.
Anybody got their head around why the new 13 Mac Book Pro M2 is more expensive than the Mac Air M2? Is it the (in my opinion negative UX) touchbar?

[0] Early reviews of M2 Macbook Pro indicate that the M2 chip heats up more than the M1 and consumes a more power. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVIknUcCjiQ
Does anyone have reviews of any comparable ARM-based (good battery backup and speed) Windows laptops? Seems like there should be a transition of the entire laptop market to ARM, given that Apple has demonstrated that ARM processors are viable on the laptop.
Still its the snappiest Windows I have used in a long time. Microsoft probably hasn't figured out how to use up all the resources of this chip (for dumb features).

Is there any loss anyway? I don't see any difference between Macbook Pro M2 and Macbook Air M2.
The Pro M2 has excessive thermal throttling and significantly lower flash storage throughput.
I'm sure it's fast coming from previous intel Macs but really the main thing holding me back is seeing how many hurdles my fellow devs run into. There's always talk about something not running or being M1 incompatible. Well, that and I'd be forced to use OSX. So far the only real benefit I've seen seems to be for those who code on insanely long train commutes.
macOS is much better to write code on due to its native *nix style terminal and it's far more usable for everything else than Linux.
To me, macOS is the best platform for writing code in 2022.
