for these on the fence, m1 pro/max is more than enough for majority of ppl waiting for m2 pro/max. i'm editing videos with 45 tabs of chrome open and the m1 max just chugs along fine. there is 0 thermal throttling and besides just pure speed, i'm not sure what apple can do that would make folks buying a cheaper m1 14 and 16 vs a m2 14 16.
