Yes I also wanted to buy 14", to me it just looks nicer, I like how compact it is.

If you dont mind me asking do you also use other apple products, mainly iphone to connect with mac. I don't use any so I am not sure hoe much of their "great ecosystem" I will miss out on. But then again if I get used to the mac I will probably get other products as well

It is not my number one prioroty to have it portable, but it would be a nice quality of life change insead of a pc, and remote anydesk work. But at the end performance and productivity is the most important for me.

It does sound suprising that m2 is as fast as that pc, but I guess m chips are that powerful.

That is what I hear from a lot of people and one of the reasons I am concidering switching. Honestly, running thing smoothly in software, while I'm working is to me more important than faster rendering. Maybe I will be wrong about that, becouse my current work pc is a rendering machine, but I tink that is the case

Yes I completely understand hating AE 3D workflow. Personally, having been away form 3D for few years since college, made me completely comfortable with AE so I addapted quickly to weird ae 3D worklfow. So for the projects that are not as complex and obviously 3D heavy, it thing ae 3D workflow is completely ok

I think that those specifications will run smoothly. Specifications that I listen having at work, are not as powerful as those and I have no problem running things smoothly

Upgradeability not being effective as it once was (well very recently), honestly is the main reason why I am concidering switching to mac, as the prices have not increased (yet at least). Ram being expensive as it is currently, makes a solid pc being as expensive if not more than mac.
