I have the OG 13" MBP M1, and it's been great; I only have two real reasons I'm considering jumping to the 14" MBP M4 Pro finally:

- More RAM, primarily for local LLM usage through Ollama (a bit more overhead for bigger models would be nice)

- A bit niche, but I often run multiple external displays. DisplayLink works fine for this, but I also use live captions heavily and Apple's live captions don't work when any form of screen sharing/recording is enabled... which is how Displaylink works. :(

Not quite sold yet, but definitely thinking about it.

The M1 Max supports more than one external display natively, which is also an option.

I don't think it's niche. It's the reason why I and multiple of my coworkers waited till M1 Pro with buying one.

I'm definitely still happy with it, but job offers upgrade to M4 so... why not?
