Also note for anyone on the fence about being 1-inch larger,
the 16 inch model is the same physical size as the 15-inch models and they removed a lot of bezel. the screen has the same camera/sensor notch as an iphone does, which allows them to extend the screen farther.
full screen videos are letterboxed 99% of the time so the notch blends into. I don't play full screen games so can't tell if thats an issue. and it is in the OS top bar the other rest of the time.
oh yeah you might be right, I had skipped the donglebook models and compared to the last pre-M1 model that had magsafe and an sd card port
I had googled the size comparison before I purchased the M1 Max model and it helped move the needle for me, but I don't remember the source and we were likely comparing different models
