iPhone cameras are absurdly thick compare to the thickness of a laptop lid. If you've noticed, they've also gotten even thicker over the year (the camera bump has gotten thicker). Nobody will want a laptop lid as thick as their iPhone + camera bump.
Even the front (selfie) camera?

Your laptop complaints are addressed by the MBP models, which aren't much heavier if that is your primary objection.
The 14" M2 Pro is 30% heavier than the M2 Air and 20% thicker. I don't really classify that as "not much". I have a 14" M1 Pro from work and a personal M2 Air and it's always surprising how much heavier the M1 Pro feels from my Air.
These new ARM chips are almost perfect, the only bad part is... ARM. Most backend devs these days use Docker, and serious Docker usage on M1/M2 macs isn't really possible due to bugs and super slow performance. I was doing benchmarks and for our workloads images would build several times slower as well as our test suites. We had many devs in our company buy the shiny macbooks only having to return them due to incompa…
I don't know what you mean about Docker - in my experience it runs just fine on M1.
Of course I bought a new 14" MBP with M1 Pro two weeks ago. Looks like if i had waited, I could have paid the same price for faster CPU with more cores, faster wifi, and 8K HDMI output. I guess that's how it goes.

It's a spec bump, possibly meaningfully so but if you are on an Intel machine or want two monitors and can find a M1 14inch for ~$1500-$1700 that's a killer upgrade no matter what.
Does the M1 14inch support 2 monitors? I was under the impression every M-based laptop only supports a single external monitor.

If you're using ARM64 containers, then it works pretty well, for the most part.

> Yesterday a new @Docker For Mac version was released that will virtualize Intel containers with Rosetta instead of emulating them.

In fairness, Apple's claim is that no laptop can do it, and to that angle they are correct.
Would an eGPU enable certain laptops to do this? I get that that's 'cheating', but also is it? I need a shit ton of peripherals to run my Mac workstation
Will this computer finally support daisy-chaining? Also known as Multi-Stream Transport (MST), it's from the DisplayPort 1.2 spec. It's the ability to connecting two displays via one cable. Any 5+ year old PC has support for it. But your $3,000 Macbook Pro doesn't.
