Debating if I should upgrade my MBP14 M1 to the new MBA, anyone done this?

Apple Store gave me a rather good trade-in price for my current machine making me even more tempted

mostly devops stuff and occasional virtual machine, looking to get the 13" 24gb spec as my current MBP14 only has 16gb. Don't feel performance is hampered but then again all these reviews online are really very potent racun

I actually made the leap of faith sidegrading to MBA 13 M4 from MBP 14 M1 Pro. First unit I opened had a small chip which exposed the aluminium so had to reject it as DOA machine (got the Midnight variant)

So far impressed with unit. Came with around ~50% ish charge and last charged 26 Jan 2025 so assume that is the manufacturing date. Nothing crazy on the heat so far while setting this up and battery is down to 10% after 4 hours.

And oh my it is so light

I'm comparing it with a Macbook Pro 14

No, I purchased my machine from Switch
