I need to see what Apple is offering at WWDC 2021 before I decide. I believe Apple will pull a shady move and only offer the Mini-LED display on the 16” MacBook Pro forcing people to a higher end SKU. Same way they did with the 12.9” iPad Pro.
Got a tip for us?

iPad Pro Is anyone with an M1 iPad Pro, thinking of getting the M1X 14” MacBook Pro ?

I suppose Apple will offer 14" and 16" MacBooks at the same time with the same chip (M1X perhaps) as part of a redesign. And later this year refresh the lower-end models with the M2 chip (or whatever the successor of M1 is called) and perhaps a redesign.
No way to know it until it happens.
Another claim fetched from thin air. You’re not forced to anything. Nice trolling of course, true to your usual form.
Apple is providing choices, not forcing. You want the mini-led display, you can choose to buy the 12.9. You're misunderstanding the marketing idea of differentiating top end models with base models. Companies have been doing it for years, they want people to choose the higher end model, as it makes more money for the company and making money is not a bad thing.
If you don't like it, move on to another company ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the MBPs receive a screen enhancement that brings near-parity to the larger iPad Pro’s screen (mini-LED, ProMotion or both) then I‘ll be buying a 16” MBP and keeping my new 11” iPad Pro. If the MBPs don’t get a screen improvement then I’ll keep my new 12.9” iPad Pro and wait until next year to make that switch. I want my primary consumption device and mobile computer to be the one with the best screen.
I believe the new screen will be available on both of the new MBP. It would be foolish of Apple not to do so.
If you do buy another Apple device, understand you aren't guaranteed any future app or tech ability with the device.
You have created a few threads on the subject of the 14" already, not to mention seemingly various contradicting posts.
From what I can see, you don't know what you want, much less whether or not the tech is needed.

Returning 2021 iPad Pro 12.9”
Same here. I’ve decided my 2018 iPad Pro is plenty But IF the 14” MacBook Pro features Mini-LEDs and the rumored M1X processor. Then that’s a deal.

Wait for MacBook Pro M2 chip release or buy now?
I personally refuse to buy an M1 anything right now because it breaks a 20 year rule of never buy Gen 1 Apple tech on anything.

Convince me to keep my 2021 iPad Pro 11"
100% Canceled my 12.9” MIniLED those Funds are heading towards a 2021 14” XDR iPad Pro with mini-LED but my money bets Apple Only offers Mini-LED on the more expensive 16” model pushing people towards that.

Chalk those up to Pre-release hype. Now that the Mini-l3d iPad Pro is out in actual reviewers hands Not Influencers. The results are pretty bad with blooming and throttling Thunder 3 speeds.I believe the new screen will be available on both of the new MBP. It would be foolish of Apple not to do so.

If you aren't going to get the new iPad, why create a new thread asking about it and the upcoming MBP?
I’m not so naive as to think there will be no blooming under extreme circumstances (dark room, 100% brightness, lots of black on screen) but I’m also not so skeptical as to think it’s something to worry about hardcore. Blooming is definitely a thing that can and will happen on mini-LED…the question is whether it’s a deal breaker and I’m fully confident the answer to that is no.
