That's why I got MBA M1 instead of MBP (and save some money).
Happy to see MBP w/o Touch Bar on new 14/16 models.
they are definitely releasing an updated 16" and when they do the 13"/14: will at least get the same new M chip that the 16" gets

Many new Mac Mini users are already discovering that their 8 GB Minis are are frequently or constantly swapping memory to disk, resulting in terabytes being written to the disk per week, even though they aren't saving much actual data. (All disk swapping) At that rate, some drives could easily render the entire device inoperable within less 5 years. (Potentially FAR less, if memory usage continues to increase for web browsing and common apps). And do you think you'll be willing to spend hundreds to repair it when it fails instead of of buy something 2-3x as fast for a little more? No. So you chuck your laptop or sell it for parts on eBay and the cycle of landfill continues.
Soldered RAM sucks, but soldered SSDs are a disastrously bad idea. Apple does this to force you to pay ridiculous premiums for otherwise inexpensive upgrades and to ensure that you replace the devices more quickly (aka planned obsolescence).
For those looking for more information, check out this video and the links to users having these problems in the description: https://youtu.be/u7LOljirF6g?t=2
tl;dr: Caveat Emptor. Don't expect this to last.
but the screen brightness and speakers are two huge factors to consider when going from the Air to the 13 Pro to even the 16 Pro
Air to the 13" Pro will get you a considerably brighter screen (there is a difference as my gf just grabbed a 13" Air and I went with her to do the shopping - i personally wouldnt get the Air just based on the lower screen brightness but for my gf she chose the savings)
The speakers on the Air are great but the 13" and esp the 16" (which will be updated with an M chip soon) have the best speakers on any laptop - and if you do a lot of listening to music, watching videos on your laptop you owe it to yourself to go Pro because the speakers are just THAT much better
The 16" Pro is the best piece of hardware ive ever owned - the large screen, huge trackpad, gigantic speakers, and great battery life - once it gets the M chip it will be unbeatable bc Apple will be able to keep it priced a bit better than Intel's offerings
At this point consumers should either considers the rock bottom priced MBAir 8GB RAM and expect a lifespan of 1-2 years at most. Or, cough up for 16GB RAM and hope it will last longer. The SSD on the 8GB machines WILL fail, there is no magic in that. Just be prepared that you can absorb an annual expense of roughly $1000, do not expect to use these Apples for 10 years.
Besides short life expectancy (like Ferrari https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif ), really brilliant laptops https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif
The new M1 OS is not magic as I said - Apple soldered fast SSD to the mainboard, similarly to what is done on phones, the swapping between RAM and SSD is faster that way, and creates the end user feeling of instantaneous switch between applications. It allows Apple to use cheaper CPUs because the RAM is on the CPU substrate and defects in lithography usually happen in memory area. This is the very same efficiency scaling that GPU makers use. Hence Apple started with 8GB chips until they harvest enough 16GB substrates.
Intensive usage of SSD however will destroy it. The SSD is not the resistor type hybrid RAM that HP or Intel have designed but never produced. Very likely we will start seeing some M1 laptops failing after 6 months...
Again, there is nothing magical in Apple. In fact, in heavy corporate use /we have tens of thousands Apple laptops/ I see more problems with Apple than other. Apple's hardware is also very corporate unfriendly for fix and maintenance - a downtime of a software architect will cost me several thousand dollars a day - we monitor a lot of related metrics.
However, for a retail user a BASIC Apple product makes more sense - basic MBAir for $800 /employee discount/ is great deal - basically with tax and accessories you assume $1000 annual depreciation which is OK rate for a quality made product. If it survives longer, you "profit". Beyond that model the financial risk increases (catastrophic failure), which is NOT slick.

However, provided I am staying within the memory constraints, it is *very* fast, with long battery life, and stays extremely cool.

To my point - because "average" user will not use the laptop that much, the "average" user should buy the cheapest option - MBAir 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. This deal here is $300-400 more and you pay just for more risk to lose it completely.
