This will become less of a problem over time as more M1’s make it into the wild.
What gives me pause moreso than this is the absence of the touchscreen and Face ID, which are very obviously coming in the next refresh (iPad app support without touch?).
As impressive as the new MacBooks are, they’re very clearly a stopgap solution so as not to replace everything all at once.

I agree, but at the same time, they pushed it pretty hard by not just doing an Air with the chip like I thought they would, but putting it in a Pro as well (with, according to the early benchmarks I've seen, barely any performance difference. I mean they could at least have put two of them in there)
- johncalvinyoung 6y agoRe: the Pro and Air difference... expect the performance for anything long-running to be rather significantly different, I'd guess...
- ogre_codes 6y agoYep. The Pro adds - Brighter Screen - Better cooling for extended CPU loads - Touch Bar (which many don't care for) - Bigger battery. The MacBook Air boosted to 16B is likely the biggest bang for the buck unless you are going to be hitting that CPU hard all the time. The iPad has pretty damned good performance without fans so I expect the Air will do quite fine.
