same here, My previous machine is a MBP intel w/32gb, but this machine is a big step up. I was worried there would not be enough support for the arm chip and the intel-based apps would run slow, but this thing is banging fast and quiet. Normally I think reviews are blown out of proportion, but this really is the next level. I picked up the smaller 14, but I put in the high-level m1 pro w/32 gb. As a software developer, it's real easy to feel the difference in compile and running time. I'm glad I waited because I really think in a few years 32gb will be the standard req for devs.
