Hence it’s not a no brainer as the generalising quote stated I was referring to.

Whether you will see the benefits depends on what you do, but people who do video and photo processing, illustrations with a lot of layers, games, and other GPU related things will see the benefits. If all you do is browsing and media consumption, you wont.

Thanks for proofing the point. If you’re workflow includes maxing out the capability of the predecessor you might see a gain. That’s miles away from being a no brainer. The latest stuff tends to be the quickest. Wether or not you benefit from it is a different conversation.

Yes what do you want me to do to prove it?

Take a look at my post #99 and please explain to me in what specific use case the mentioned m1 owners would see those enormous productivity gains, to provide some context to your claims.
