A client of mine has just issued me an M2 MBP as a bonus, and wow. Night and day difference to my previous i9 MBP.

The battery on this is incredible - not to mention my limbs no longer get burnt.

On the old ones, my fan used to run constantly at full power.

Now, my external platter drives make more noise than the laptop.

The only problem I've had with my M1 is that my nightmares about losing it are dreadful, but waking up and realizing it was only a dream and it's still there is a huge relief.

I use mine 10+ hours a day as the primary tool in the work I do and enjoy it a lot. It's a bargain to me. Everything works and the OS stays out of my way so can completely focus on the primary apps I use. I remember the early years of work with a computer, dealing with drivers and networking and huge CRT displays and other drama. It's very rare that I notice or think about the notch, and I never use the camera.
