I got an m1 pro knowing it would be a little overpowered for my use case ( mostly web browsing and photo editing), and it's still over powered for me. Battery is still phenomenal. I couldn't imagine paying so much to upgrade it to the m5 pro for marginal improvement.
The m1s were wildly over engineered.
The performance the m1 pros put out was not quite mirrored in later models.
The m1 was a massive step up
yep the only reason i upgraded my m1 air was to get a 15" screen.
