At first I was wondering if this is even worth it. I must say I'm impressed with the 14 MBP 2023". The speakers and screen alone are worth the upgrade. The M2 is fast and I love having the extra ports esp the SD card slot. It almost seems like the sound is coming from somewhere else in the room it's so full and clear. I will no longer need to carry a portable speaker when traveling. The screens HDR is almost as good as my iPhone 14 pro max and LG OLED TV. OLED is still a bit better but uses more power and suffers from image retention etc. The notch is benign as I never notice it since the toolbar is at the top of the screen and it doesn't cut off anything important. Sine there is only the camera, I would think Apple could have chose a smaller hole punch design.
With my M1 2020 13" MBP I mainly left it docked with my LG 27" monitor but the screen and sound is so much better on the thing I'll use it more undocked around the house. Definitly a good upgrade. Normally with Macs I try to stretch it 5 years or more but glad I did it early this time.
