All of that was already on the M1 versions of the same laptops though wasn’t it?

No. At least not on this one: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)

  As far as I can see the laptops in TFA are 14 and 16”. The 13” remains a heavier Air, with two ports on the same side and no magsafe: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/ https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

    Ah got it! Yes mine is a 13". Maybe I'll go 14".

      They’re great machines but do be aware they’re a fair bit heavier than the 13”, even the 14” is 0.5lb heavier (3.5 to 3). (The 16” is a 4.7lb chonk).

IIRC, Apple offered (offers? I haven’t checked) the 13” M1 which was based on the previous chassis, then launched the 14/16” on the new one.

  Well yes but that new chassis, with magsafe, 3xUSB-C, HDMI, and SD, was launched in 2021, with the M1-based 14" and 16". The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/ https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-13/specs/

    The comment you replied to says that their MacBook M1 does not have those features. It does not have an SD card slot not MagSafe because it was a 13” M1 MacBook Pro. Nobody claimed that their MacBook was the latest chassis, just that it had an M1. > The M2-based 13" still has two USB-C on the same side and no SD One can easily interpret their comment to say that they are happy it still has USB-C on both sides. Most non-MacBooks have one or two ports, generally on one side only. With the addition of other ports, Apple could have very well removed some of the USB-C ports. I’m not sure why you are trying to insist that they don’t know their own laptop. They even provided you a link showing the model did in fact exist.

      > The comment you replied to says that their MacBook M1 does not have those features. The comment I replied to says that they're drooling over magsafe, sd card, and USB-C on both sides. My point is that's been available for 18 months at the exact same range position (and a lower price point) as the new laptops. The updated version of their current laptop doesn't have any of those. > I’m not sure why you are trying to insist that they don’t know their own laptop. I'm... not doing that? > They even provided you a link showing the model did in fact exist. I'm the only person who provided any link here.
