Aye, you're basically describing a Studio.
See above
You know you want one! (but wedding, etc, I get it).
Nice, good shout on the SSD upgrade. My first MacBook had 256Gb and I grew to fill it up, the second had 512Gb and I nearly filled that up as well which is why I went with 1Tb on this one (M2 MBA). I think I'm hovering around 650Gb in use so it's the perfect size for me with no need to even consider plugging in any external storage.
I've never felt the need to take a laptop above 16Gb but my usage is light. It certainly can't hurt, that's the main thing.
You're going to like this lot when you get it, it's a cracking package and with the gift cards, you're getting a decent price.
It's bad enough that most Apple professional users consider it malware.
They don't need to do any tidying up from time to time.
A Mac won't slow down by not doing any regular maintenance.
Does she download so much that she's going to fill the SSD? Create a simple bash script that empties the downloads directory and put a shortcut for it on the desktop.

Direct from Apple?
That's going to be one huge upgrade!
It will be.
Having switched directly from a 2017 iMac to a Mac Studio with a pair of studio displays, I think the sound on the iMac was better!
I think we're in the extended Christmas return period now so you could buy it, use it for nearly two months to see if it meets your requirements and then return it if it doesn't.
If anyone's upgrading.....
I think that case generally is a bit rubbish. Apple make something tiny and it’s being enclosed in a case to make it bigger.
I mean, I get the ‘ahhh’ factor but really?

Bang on.
/me rubs his M1 Mac Studio Ultra (base spec but with 2Tb SSD).
I need the space, but could have bought the absolute base model Studio.

I can understand it, I never used to shut down my Macs but with the increase in energy cost, I always shut down the office iMac and the Studio in my Shack every day. It's only pennies a year but it all adds up.
I couldn't care less what people do. Switch it off, don't switch it off. Put it in a silly case, don't put it in a silly case. I'll say what I think but I don't actually care what people do
It’s the same panel.
How practical is this? How do you connect to it remotely if anything needs to be done and if you reboot it, how do you manage to log in?
