Does the imac pro get the better camera and other features listed?
I used laptops for years until and rsi issue made me have to avoid trackpads. I can say I’ve been extremely pleased with having a desktop imac. I use an ipad pro when I need something portable. I like just having a station I can get in front of that signifies work, and the imac pro fans basically never make noise.
iMacs always had relatively better cameras than the laptops, and are not really limiting for most video chat usages (unless you're seeking 4k video or something). Their form factor allows real-sized cameras to be used, unlike a laptop lid that constantly compromises.
I'm not so sure - ARM and Intel are bound to meet at some point in the power/performance space because both share the same limitations in terms of physics.
I have an iMac Pro and can confirm the microphone is amazing. Miles better than the internal microphones on my colleagues PC laptops. (I don’t have a strong opinion on the camera, and don’t have an iMac to compare to.)
As I get older and wrinkled, I appreciate the lack of pixels and soft focus of a crappy camera. I'd be much happier with low noise in dark settings than more pixels. Kind of the same way I appreciated the Dell XPS "nostrilcam" that fools people about the hair on the top of my head in ways my Macbook doesn't.
