That's a great computer for development. I have the 16" version, but otherwise the same. It's fantastic, unless you need to do ML stuff, in which case you might want a PC with an Nvidia GPU.
Actually they are pretty good if you stick to repos with MPS support (or try to hack it in yourself). They have larger memory pool than the small AMD/Nvidia GPUs that ship with most 14" laptops, and are "fast enough" on the GPU or NPU.
AMD 7000 series laptops might be similar... some day. But there's basically zero support for their NPU now.
