For me it's hardware nested virtualization but I'll be waiting for the M2 Pro.
Could you please provide the link about "hardware nested virtualization"?

Do you think there is anyone here who didn't understand exactly what they meant?

Long AAPL, you say? Or what else are you saying? I agree that Ive's influence will not be missed.
I would be long AAPL if they didn't have the majority of their production in China. That now poses a significant risk and Apple execs must be sweating bullets right now scrambling to onshore.

I haven't experienced the microphones on the ARM MBP 16", but with its Intel predecessor. And there the microphones are excellent and not drowned by fan noise (assuming of course, you don't run huge compute tasks in the background during the calls, never encountered anyone doing so). I can't imagine the ARM MBP to be more noisy than the Intel one. But specifically: the MB Air doesn't have a fan, so you won't hear fan…
Even on the Intel i9 MBP 16" having a call is a huge compute task that will unleash the fans. Regardless of Zoom, Meet or whatever videoconferencing I use.

There's no notch on the M1 Air. Are you expecting one? Notches are terrible and are enough all alone to make me change what I'll buy.
Have you given a notched device a fair shake? Not suggesting you haven’t, but I never notice the notch on my iPhone I figured it would drive me nuts

Ugh, I forgot about the battery. I'm lucky if I get a couple of hours out of it. Horrible thing.
90 minutes max for me. Awful machine.

The 16" MBP would have been a much better machine for most people if it didn't have a dedicated GPU. The CPU got pretty toasty as-is, but adding a dGPU into the mix just turned it into a furnace. The way the thing was wired up also meant that connecting to an external display engaged the GPU, and some unacknowledged hardware or software flaw set the power/heat floor to about 20W (it's not just the minimum draw of the…
> The sad irony of it all is that I bet the vast majority of purchasers were developers like myself, who have absolutely no need for a dedicated GPU. I would seriously doubt that. Mac sales are huge and developers must be a relatively small segment of computer users.
Would be the perfect laptop if it could hook up to 2 external monitors instead of just one. For that reason, I have to go for the M2 Pro.
