sorted byI find M1 the better shape, to hold, use, and aesthetics. And price difference should be more like £100-£200, not worth £300 extra for M2 - that’s price of a usb-c Power Delivery 4k monitor.
BUT - The M2 has the better screen, sharper text, easier to read and focus on, plus the little bit extra screen height along with the M2’s pop up menu animation, rather than M1’s pop & slide menu, is preferable - the M1 in this regard grates on me (perhaps a setting can change it).
MagSafe, with an extra port is very nice too.
Alas neither can be told to stop charging at 60/70/80%, without an extra piece of software (will it be safe, outside Apple store) or some Mac Code Pokery. Which means ignoring Apple’s Own Advice to ‘not store at 100%’ if used as a desktop majority of time. Strange they advocate STORING it with mains power at 100% as GOOD, but Storing it at 100% without mains power as BAD - does not compute. Reminds me of their Impossible to follow Ergonomic advice for earlier laptops and keyboards, again looking to do wrong thing and right thing at the same time, and hope their consumers are fooled to believe the one they want to hear.

Having said that, I agree with those that said the M1 Air at Amazon earlier (OOS now) was the better deal as a 39% increase in price is probably not worth the incremental bump.
It's the refresh rate apple need to increase to make the new model a must buy
