TBH I would not upgrade if I were you. From what I've heard a lot of packages (sklearn,np,pd,tf) don't work natively on ARM, and can't take full advantage of the beasty gpu and unified memory anyway, unless you opt for Apple's ML compute. My 2013 mbp (gasp) is on its last leg, otherwise I'd sit on the fence a little longer for compatibility especially for someone working in data analytics.
Got a tip for us?

As you can see from all my previous posts, I've been very critical of Apple lately. But today's event was incredible. Notch doesn't bother me so much and seriously I don't know if there is anything I could ask more from a laptop. Well done Apple. Two thumbs way up. Trading in my 2015 MBP for the 16.Max.64Gb.2TB!
Only Apple can remove all of the ports on a Mac and then bring them all back as if it's some innovative idea. Either they are dumb, or they think the people that will buy this are dumb.
This event was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be.
It’s a personal preference, but I actually like these presentations. It’s better than the on-stage events if you ask me. They’re much faster getting to the point and much less blah blah.
You're pretty smart. You should get a job at Apple and change the direction of their company. But don't screw with their stock; I got tons of it and that's my retirement. Thanks Tim!
No. If you look at the current MB Airs (where the camera is and the dead space on each side), the new MB camera is the same distance from the top, but now they just raised the screen around that camera higher; so now the camera space fits along what is now the higher Mac OS menu line. Heck, if you turn your menu line black-with-white lettering, then the camera disappears. It seems there is more real estate available. Either that, or you have a big black space at the top like before. So, "lazy" isn't correct. They are trying to be innovative with that dead space (--putting the camera in Mac OS menu bar line).
After the announcments today, the only intel based products are:
2020 27-inch iMac
2019 Mac Pro
2018 Mac mini
Even more interesting - Is it worth buying an Intel Mac after today?

Did anyone notice the braided USB-C to Lightning Cable that now comes with the Trackpad, Magic Mouse, and Magic Keyboard. It doesn't come as a stand-alone item. Not that I can find.
The USB-C to Lightning Cable is marked as "New" but I don't see any difference. Does anyone else?

No. the notch lines up in the Mac OS menu now. In a program (app), the menu will still be there (in which the notch now sits).
Exit the TouchBar that required more 'clicks' than on my previous mac, so I never touched it - welcome back to the macsafe connector... and also to the 3.5mm Jack on the left side so the cable from my headphone will stop interfering with my mouse. Maybe Apple is back with some common sense with those new Macbook Pro. Maybe even next year Macbook will have again a optical output within the 3.5 jack - or maybe as a 50$ optional feature.
I did think of one positive about the notch… Have no desire to buy one. More than happy with my 2020 15” MBP now.
they are expressing themselves and it's beautiful!!!
1) So, the Homepods are unchanged, except for new colors? No audio or capability improvements?
2) I'd love comfortable, smart, super-high-fidelity earpods, but not if they become landfill when the glued-in batteries die in 2 years. Call me both old-fashiond and an environmentalist. ;-)

Lol yeah, I’m glad my dad has the sense to not dress like a fool and “express himself”
I’ve had my airpods for 2 years and still get great battery life
Look inward and ask yourself why you are so emotionally anti-knotch. It's proven to be a non-issue on phones, and macOS has *always* had a "notch" 100% the width of the screen... call a menu bar.
Is the glaring constrast between white and black, how it "pops" and you can't not see it because of that? Well, meet Dark Mode.
If you look at screenshots, you'll see that "full-screen" accounts for the notch, as if the menu bar is there, even though it's not. So the notch is a non-issue for full-screen editing.
