I would have immediately purchased an M1Pro MacBook Pro if they were already available, but unfortunately, they were not. I knew that I wanted another 16 inch MacBook Pro, but spending over three grand for an outdated chip architecture did not make sense at the time (Q1 2021).

A little backgroundĪ couple of months ago, due to ending the chapter at my startup and going the route of freelancer first, entrepreneur later, I had to give up my top-of-the-line 16-inch, i9 processor, 32GB RAM, model year 2019 MacBook Pro. Software development with IntelliJ and Docker containers as well as some 3D modeling with Fusion 360 is what I have done mainly for the past couple of months with an M1 MacBook (16GB RAM) after getting rid of the incumbent 16-inch MacBook Pro. The professionals that this story is referring to are mainly developers and tinkerers in the software development arena.

Pro-usage is a term saying nothing at all - I know. Is Apple Silicon Ready for Pro-Usage? My Experience with M1 as a Developer
