Think about what you do and what you need. I bought an M1 MacBook Air to keep me going until the Apple Silicon 16" Pro, and ended up staying with the Air. 16GB

16GB is fine for a typical web dev setup with three Docker containers. When I go out for more than a day I take an external monitor with me, the total package weighs less than a 16" Pro and has way more screen real estate.
Of course there's some people who definitely need the 16" Pro.
- ayewo 4y agoWhich external monitor do you use if I may ask?
- cehrlich 4y agoLenovo M14. The design and hinge is great and the panel is fine, but I actually wouldn't recommend this one as it's 1920x1080 which scales poorly with MacOS. For VSCode or a web browser it's fine though, I just use CMD+(+/-). Ideally I'd recommend anything with 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 resolution.
