MacBook upgrade? 2020, 13" M1 (16 GB RAM) vs late 2019, 16" with i9 (16 GB RAM)? Coming from a mid-2012, 13" MacBook Pro (8 GB RAM), which is no longer receiving software support. Is the display upgrade worthwhile going to the new 13", M1 model? What about 16"? The screen size is tempting, but it is a price jump.

On the other hand, are the 2020, 13" Intel models (higher end versions) better than the 2020, 13" M1s? I've seen reviews saying that the M1 is a lower-end model.
 
I just bought the higher end 16-inch with the upgrade 5500M graphics to 8GB. Ask me anything, secondly what do you use your computer for the most? Remember that M1 Macs cannot do boot camp/load Windows.
