Am I reading right that it only supports one display output? I may be reading that incorrectly....
It will only drive one 4k display at 60hz, I would imagine it would support multiple lower resolutions with no issues.

I'm pretty sure they're all identical chips. No doubt there are clocking differences. But that may be automatic based on thermals and not actually represent a difference in the actual chip.
The base model m1 air has a 7 core gpu compared with 8 core in the others.
A lot of CPU given any release is the same high end CPU with faulty cores disabled.
Eehm. What is the actual difference between the MBA M1 and the MBP 13 M1? (except the latter is thicker?) Checked the compareison and didn‘t find anything substantial...
The MBP gets all 8 GPU cores, the MBA gets 7 (but you can upgrade the MBA to get all 8 for effectively $50 with a $200 upgrade to the storage as well). Touchbar and bigger battery. I think those are the only differences

This is a good point and begs an interesting question: will they continue using the same ARM chip across the whole line when the 16" MBP and the other iMacs make the switch, and if so, will all Macs of the same generation always have the same amount of RAM? Or will they branch the chips (M2 and M2S, or something)? Is RAM becoming less relevant when you have smart integration of software and hardware components, to a…
> Is RAM becoming less relevant when you have smart integration of software and hardware components, to a point where stratification is no longer necessary in most cases? If they intend these things to run software development, audio/video editing, CAD, or any other resource-intensive workloads, there will absolutely be demand for more.
Lots of comments from people complaining about the lack of 32GB of RAM. Can someone explain to me the need for 32GB of RAM as a developer? Is it the IDE or your particular application area? As for me, I do all my professional development (C++17/Linux, Vim, EDA industry) on a five year old T450s with 12GB of RAM. For me the limiting factor is CPU power for sure. I only run out of RAM running some of the larger custome…
When I was an active software developer, I always had the biggest and beefiest machine possible, plus a MBP for when I was on the move. Now, off in another career field, I'm really wondering why I would choose a MPB over an iPad Air or Pro. By the time you add a keyboard to the iPad, it kinda feels like the only real difference is whether you want to run Xcode. Other than that, is there really anything you can do on…

If the App Store gatekeepers get their way then "run a shell".
(I've recently got my first iPad - my first iOS device in a very long time - and it's actually less locked down than I was expecting. I had no idea they had relaxed the rules on scripting on the device. But it's still way, way more locked down than a real computer)
