I'm pleased to have seen this thread.
I've always used the Pro models but don't need the power to pro tasks all that often these days. I had been waiting to see the 14" MBP and honestly the MBA is looking more and more appealing.
A large part of me feels like a chump pulling the trigger on a year old system when I can buy the brand new 14" with the same spec for less than £400 more but I'm currently using a late 2011 13" MBP so feel like the MBA will be a huge enough leap in performance and is a known entity without any issues which appeals a lot!

Wow, nice job scoring it at that price! Was this new?! I completely agree with what you're saying about the MBPs being at the start of the cycle, it could take a long time for issues to start getting discovered.Just this week I picked up the M1 MBA 256GB/16GB for a killer price of £799 in the UK. Awesome deal. People say it's old and the end of the cycle. I say, yes it is the end of the cycle but it's the best available and battle-tested. Your start of cycle MBP M1 Pro/Max? I will wait and see what the complaints are![]()
