You’re computer room has an awesome set up

My 2018 Macbook Pro 13" started to have charging issues. It would periodically be "Not Charging" when plugged in and I would have to reset the SMC each time to try to fix it. Sometimes resetting the SMC did not work and I would have to do go through the process again. I'm sure it had to do something with the T2 chip since it controls power management too. Sometimes, when connected to an external monitor, it would charge, then disconnect, then charge repeatedly making the power chime sound. I tried replacing the power brick and cable, but still, these problems persist. I wanted this thing to last one more year but it's become unreliable when doing any kind of data science work. Having a laptop not charge all of a sudden during an important presentation was the last straw. It sucks because the 13" MBP was perfectly fine with the work I was doing. I decided to finally upgrade to Apple Silicon. I was able to get the base MBP 14" M2 Pro off the Apple education store along with a $150 apple gift card as a promotion. I didn't realize education discount applied to 20% off AppleCare+ also, so I used the $150 giftcard and only paid $69 for AppleCare+. Great deal if anyone's still stuck on Intel Macs. Man, this is my first experience with Apple Silicon on a laptop. This thing flies and is nearly silent. My old MBP wasn't a slouch but it definitely ran hot and the fans were loud especially if I hooked it up to an external monitor. I do miss the magsafe adapter and I'm glad Apple brought it back. I am beyond frustrated with USB-C charging and the handshake problem I had with my old MBP. The screen is also amazing compared to my old 2018 13" MBP but I mostly only use the laptop monitor as a secondary when docked at my desk.
