I'm curious what specs are software developers planning on getting. From what I've seen, the m1 mba/mbp was good enough for a lot of use cases so I dont see the point of get some specced out mpb. I am currently leaning towards the base model 14" but with 1tb of space.

Minimum config that allows 64 GB RAM which unfortunately means the M1 Max, 2 TB SSD. Prices out just under 4k for the 14”, over 4k for the 16”. Not sure I care about the screen size, I’m almost always at my desk with a 43” display. But either way it’s gonna be a few months before I can budget it.

Getting the 10/16 CPU/GPU with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The only real uncertainty for me was the GPU, whether to get 14/16 but the difference in cost was small and I figured it might be nice for some physics sims + tensorflow work.
