I have a 2014 15” MBP 16gb/512gb. Going on 7 years now. The battery is nowhere near as strong. It gets hot.
I was originally thinking of getting a 16” MBP considering I would keep it just as long as my current one. But part of me just doesn’t want to spend the money.
My uses: live video streaming with dslr, some 1080p and 4k video editing, some light photo editing, zoom calls, book writing, docs, etc. I don’t really do much media consumption like watching videos and stuff.
I connect my mbp to a 27” monitor as a pure desktop replacement. I would do the same with the next laptop. But I do travel with my laptop. I’ve taken my mbp all over the world so weight isn’t an issue, but I wouldn’t take my 15” out of my bag for short stints like waiting at the airport or anything. I just keep it in my bag until my destination.
My current mbp is my only computer so I like connecting it to my monitor at home. The screen size comes in handy when working away when traveling.
I feel like the M1 air could handle all of the tasks I do. I liked the idea of going from my 2014 model to the 16” mbp with it being similar in feel and style. But the M1 air seems like such a deal at less than half the price with a smaller footprint and more portability and possibly better performance than my mbp.
