If I were looking for a Macbook for s/w development, is there a compelling reason to get an M1 chip device? No gaming intended.
I am a novice when it comes to Mac programming, though I have 35 years experience in development. I have always considered programming to be less CPU-intensive, but it can definitely benefit from more screen real estate and storage. Both of which I can get more of for less money without the M1.
Thanks for your input.
