I hope we’ll also see an iPad Pro 11" with a mini-led screen - so have asked Apple to extend the return period of mine just in case

I’m so hyped.
Got an M1 Mac Mini with 16 gigs of RAM and… it’s not enough, isn’t it Docker ?
And to be 100% honest, I’m missing the mobility. Being behind my desk all day long is really boring.

What else have you bought Law?
Here’s what most people seem to be expecting:
- 14-inch and 16-inch models with the same performance across both machines.
- Slimmer bezels and no MacBook Pro logo below the display.
- Mini-LED displays with ProMotion and resolutions of 3024 x 1964 and 3456 x 2234, resulting in higher contrast and brightness, as well as smoother on-screen motion.
- 1080p webcam for improved video calls, up from 720p on the current models.
- Flatter design, more akin to the design of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.
- Six ports, including two Thunderbolt ports and a MagSafe charging port on the left side of the machine, and an HDMI port, a Thunderbolt port, and SD-card reader on the right side of the machine. This means that there are three Thunderbolt ports expected, one less than on current high-end MacBook Pros.
- No OLED Touch Bar, with full-size physical function keys instead.
- “M1X” chip with a 10-core CPU that features eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, along with 16-core and 32-core GPU options, and support for up to 64GB of RAM.
- Improved thermal design for the 14-inch model, mirroring the improvements that came to the 16-inch model in 2019, including a larger heat pipe and heat sink, as well as added thermal pads.
- High-Power Mode to optionally boost performance when not connected to power.
- 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as standard with the base configurations.
- Larger battery for the 14-inch model and a slightly smaller battery for the 16-inch model, relative to the current models.
- MagSafe charging like older MacBook Pro models, now featuring faster charging speeds and a redesigned power brick.

Yeah, I’ve used it like twice to launch IDEA tasks but, since I use my MBP mainly in clamshell mode, well… It doesn’t really provide something useful.
I think it was much more of POC for Apple to use ARM based chip beside an Intel one.
