waiting for the 16" with SD Card. If they can't put an SD Card slot in there, I will literally go buy a PC. I am tired of Apple's shenanigans ('https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00DNOe0TocvxyXyqr-aNhRJUkf7fg:1629214173342&q=shenanigans&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjX_MHgr7jyAhUSB50JHZaAAs8QBSgAegQIARAx'). I do photography a lot and having to find an adapter 5 times a day is a pain in the butt.

Are any m1 owners going to upgrade later this year or stick with what you have?
Honestly, I will probably stick it out for a while. I plugged in a TB3 dock on my M1 MBP so I’m not deprived of ports and the performance is more than enough for what I’m doing. Including editing 4K video in Final Cut. It would take some radical new features or a new form factor - like a 12” model - to get me to consider.
