The only way to convince me to move away from my full die M1 Pro is by having 15/17 hour battery life. Currently getting between 7-9h.

What if they had a Pro chip model that had more power cores but also had more efficiency cores? Would that do the trick? Like you can get a 10 core M1+ chip but it only has 2 eff cores. If you did 4 eff cores it'd still have more perf cores than the base M1 but would be more comparable in efficiency. Maybe?
It was time for 6E this year. The iPhone is definitely getting it this fall. A few flagship Android phone already have it. And all Alder Lake–based laptops are getting it this year.
Pretty disappointed to see the M2 MBA ship with the exact same networking hardware as the M1, 1.5 years later.
Yeah! I would opt for this instead.. I don't use more than 35% of this M1 Pro CPU, heck I use more the GPU than anything else because I have it connected to dual 4K displays.
Well, MBP, none. iMac and Mac mini yes. Ironic as those were the plug-in Macs which power had no sway.
Just "MacBook" or "MacBook Air" is besides the point with respect to a 15" notebook. Apple has needed to fill this void for over a decade at this point. The many times where prospective MacBook buyers would seek my advice & lament the fact that they didn't need the powerhouse performance of a "Pro" notebook; they just wanted something bigger than just 13.3 inches but didn't want to spend north of 2 grand to get it.
