What are you using the laptop for?

If its web browsing with long battery life, you should just get an iPad Pro with the keyboard attachment. for anything else just buy an Intel Macbook - who knows how long it will be until the ARM Macbook gets released

I am developer, a heavy user running docker containers, IntelliJ, etc. I have been using Macs for a long time and not considering a switch to a Linux or Windows. If I buy a laptop today I will not be buying another one for at least 5 years. So I wanted understand what I lose if I buy another laptop with an Intel chip versus the new Arm based one.
