Subject says it all. Completely happy, no complaints. Probably the last computer I ever need.

lmao good luck next year when the notch is gone and the twin M1 Max Duo comes out. 20 CPU cores, 64 GPU and 128gb ram. It has been discovered apple left modular parts on the m1 max. sorry but you dropped 5k on something that was obsolete on release.
Discard all nay sayers. M1 MBP 16 is such a great laptop!
Congrats buddy!
Congrats buddy!
Why would I need that when the one I have now does the job?
They’re not putting a Max Duo in a notebook. The thermal capacity and power just isn’t there. They are likely using the 2x and 4x Max chips for the desktops that have the cooling and power to sustain those chips.
Also notebook designs are often used for 3 years. Apple is most likely keeping the notch for at least the next 3 years. The only way around a notch is under-display cameras and the tech just isn’t there yet.
I hope this is just a joke.
You now what we really need to do?? We need to bug the FAA/Homeland Security to increase the battery capacity limit for airplanes, because that's what's holding back companies from installing larger batteries
So, what did you want to discuss? I'm sure there are already plenty of threads with brief feedback.
Having been into computers for about 25 years now. I've heard and read people say this so many times.
I think the last major time I saw people say this was in 2012 when the first Retina MacBook Pro's came out. They had all-flash storage, no optical drive, thinner bodies and amazing screens for the time. But now those are only a few hundred bucks on ebay, have no support from Apple and people are replacing them with newer systems like always.
I'm sure you'll be looking at a new system in 3 to 7 years depending on how well you look after this one.
You sound bitter. Let the man (or woman) enjoy his (her) MBP. It's not like he (she) spend your money to buy one.

With this logic, all things are obsolete on release.
These new MBPs are insane. I have a nearly maxed out 16" Max on order (only thing not maxed is the 4TB of storage instead of 8) and after having an opportunity to daily drive an M1 13" MBP earlier this year, I'm super pumped to get it. I'm sooooo over having my 2019 Intel MBP overheat every time I ask it to do anything even remotely non-trivial.
Same machine here, very happy with my purchase. Couldn't wait to say goodbye to the butterfly keyboard generation. There's always a better tech product around the corner, and yet the new computers are (and feel like) the most significant MBP upgrade in a decade.

Also have a maxed out 16". With the exception of storage, I went for 2TB.
This is definitely the best MBP and best laptop I've had so far. It checks almost all boxes for me.
