Almost 10 years ago we purchased a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for approx 2K UK pounds. It's really surprising and disappointing that a decade later these same specs essentially cost the same!
Historically, if you compare pre-M1 Macs to equivalent PCs, they were very price competitive. There are no equivalents to Apple Silicon Macs.
Wonder how good it is compared to the latest NVIDIA GPUs in laptops for gaming and ML Tasks
Laptops this size cannot fit NVIDIA GPUs.
Heck, even the Switch technically has an Nvidia GPU.
Otherwise still looks like an amazing machine so I'm probably still getting one anyway.
I am deciding on a new Laptop. I am still worried that my workflow (heavy on docker) will suffer under Apple Silicon. Has someone some (very) recent experience on Docker + M1/2?

It's a lot faster and of higher quality now. Those numbers do not reflect the speed of the ram, the speed of the memory, the quality of the screen, or the performance of the CPU
Yes it's made with iPhone/iPad parts instead of PC parts :)

Yeah but my guess is soon the M2 Max will be revealed. Its probably already developed, they just need to wait six more months to reveal. Clearly apple is able to jump straight to the M2, but they are releasing M1 to maximize profit.
Didn't the M1 come out in november 2020 and the M1 Pro in October 2021? That would be closer to a year than 6 months. I actually would not be suprised if it took even a little longer and if they went with a more advanced node on TSMC to get both, architecture improvements and miniaturization improvements.
Pricing looks excellent ($1200 to start); I was expecting a bigger bump. We'll see about the 16G price and availability.
Urk: nothing above 8G memory listed on the apple store.

Literally my only question. If they don't understand that then this is a massive market-research fail. I went Windows before the M1 Pro Macs just because I could not run two displays well on the Air (Displaylink sucks so so much).
On the contrary, I suspect they have market research to the effect that only a small proportion of users have or want multiple screens, and of those who do, they're likely to buy a more expensive model in the first place. Basically everyone I know has gone the route of a single large display, Mac user or not.
