It's all related to things outside the CPU and GPU that made me choose a base model M5 Macbook Pro. I prefer the larger 14-inch screen for its 120hz capability and much better brightness and colour capability. I adore that there are USB-C ports on both sides for charging. The battery's bigger. That's about it.
If nothing else, I’ve learned that for me personally, 14” is the sweet spot for a laptop. It’s just enough over the 13” to be good, without being obnoxiously large.
I also like NanoTexture way more than I thought I would, so there’s that.
