Not a Matlab users, but a software engineer

16GB M1 Air has been all I’ve needed since release. I have an M1 MBP from work, but rarely use it. The MBP is a brick in comparison and really only brings GPU grunt I don’t care for

So a 16/24GB Air is my recommendation, especially if you’re coffeeshop hopping. Pick the size depending on your preferences

Very obvious after the updates they did to the A17. It was mostly GPU stuff, and in particular things for games that make way more sense on a computer than a phone.

This is why I feel Apple Vision could use M3 / some variant of A17 and not the M2 like in the current developer models
