First impressions with this new Mac:
- It feels much faster in comparison with my previous 16" i9. That Mac was very laggy on animations and general performance wasn't very good.
- I have seen some users complaining about low refresh rate on web browsers. In my case, all browsers are running at 120 Hz without any issues. I am running Monterey 12.0.1.
- Battery life is INSANE. It has dropped a 25% while running for 2:30h. That time I have been installing all my necessary software.
- It does not produce any heat. My old 16" i9 MBP was a furnace in comparison with this one.
- I use this computer for software development (VSCode, Android Studio and Flutter) and all software is working fine.

Nice first impressions.

I don't think Safari is currently running 120HZ Pro-Motion.

As the 'terrible' Apple purchasing influence of @TheYayAreaLiving ? @LFC2020 and others continue on this thread... ?

I added another purchase to my Apple Store history this morning, and have decided to upgrade from my 12 Pro Max to a 13 Pro. Now the 3-4 week shipping/waiting period begins. The trade-in value going down a bit is what pushed me to do it. And 120Hz, and I want a smaller phone again...

Me? ?? That 120hz though ??

I did notice when you first posted about the insufficient memory glitch - did you have all of those apps open at once? I think @SloRide™ alluded to it, but I as well Quit (CMD-Q) when I'm done with apps when my full workflow is done. I wonder what the trend would be here: Do we all Quit the apps entirely, or just move from App to App and then put the machine to sleep with all the apps running in the background and Power Nap enabled?

You also mentioned your Beastie running hot while having it on a pillow...did you do that with your older MBP and notice the same thing or was this new? I would think flat surfaces/tables/desks would be better "heat sinks" of a sort, than a pillow...also, if the vent slots were covered up - maybe it wasn't circulating internally as needed. Even if the fans aren't running, there must be a bit of thermal current causing a slight amount of air circulation.
