When you push the 14" MBP make sure to ramp up the fan speeds as LM demonstrates in the video.
Otherwise you'll be cooking your M1 Pro SoC with high heat.

100 USD more expensive than the M2 one with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, but you get much more from that M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

but you get much more

More ports, Mini-LED display and a higher refresh rate. Up to 4 external displays, SDXC card slot, among other things.

I was comparing to the M2 MacBook Pro which still uses the pre-Apple silicon design, including Touch Bar.

It seems strange that Apple is still even selling a 13" MBP at all, even with M2 inside. May be that they still had tens of thousands of that same MBP laptop chassis sitting in a warehouse somewhere and need to liquidate the inventory. IDK.

They also have a M1 Macbook Air there selling for $799 (but it's a refurb)

If you spend $5 on some heat transfer pads and place them between the passive cooler and bottom plate, performance is almost equal a pro anyway.
