Is the quality of the internal components the same for the MBA and MBP? I would believe the case, and battery to the same quality, with the exception that the MBP has a larger battery, I would also think the monitor is the same quality, with the exception the MBP is 100 nits brighter. However, are the logic board components the same, or does the MBP have heavier duty, Vs standard duty components because it's designed heavy work type use.

I was recently asked this question, and I would presume both are made to the same quality and duty standards; I sincerely hope so, as I just purchased a MBA-M1/8 cpu/8 gpu/512gb/16gb.
 
I am sure they are made to same standard. My 2013 11" MBA has been tough and see no reason why it should be any different with my M1. I briefly looking at the motherboards on ifixit it also looked like similar components, just with a different layout. So the differences is more about the spec differences than quality.
