Ditto all the comments about swapping from 2019 MBP to 2021 MBP and being silent and powerful again.

The other big game changer is battery life. My top of the line 2019 i9 would chew through battery on Zoom. I could barely get 1.5 hours… which makes the term ‘laptop’ a little silly.

The 2021 can run long enough I don’t pay any attention to the battery, which is the point of a laptop - mobile computing.

General computing is even better, people didn’t even bother bringing their power supplies to work anymore with the M1. They could go all day doing development and the occasional meeting.

Power consumption and MagSafe are the hidden gems of the M1 models imho.
