Flash-based storage devices such as SSDs have no mechanical components. Due to this, they are typically faster, run silently, and are more shock resistant than traditional HDDs.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.

A really well rounded laptop for people who need a bit more power compared to the average user. The build quality is great, just be gentle with the screen cause prolonged contact with fingers near places like the notch when opening the device will get greasy and the coating is fragile. I would highly recommend going for a higher RAM over the base 16GB if you want to increase performance, rather than spending money on cores that will drain your battery faster. I use this computer for intensive 3D modelling and rendering, and I couldn't recommend it more for creative people who like the portability and need great performance. The added HDMI port and SD Card slot are very welcome, and a big selling point if you plan to go with the lower storage. I do recommend going to a local shop to try one out before buying, as you may find other missed details that you can't see from a text or video review. (e.g. speakers, screen, keyboard)

Everything about the macbook pro 14inch is great apart it's battery life. Even thought it's a binned based version of new 2021 macbook pro, apple has once again brought it's falgship device with it's own apple silicon pro version.
