  Can you share some first impressions? I do front-end web dev mostly, using vim and sometimes VS Code, and usually with a Twitch stream in the background... thinking I might trade in this big 16-inch MBP for the M1 MBP.

    Haven't setup the dev toolchain yet as it has been a busy day. First impressions, battery is amazing. I put a 4k youtube video playing and kept using the macbook, after 30 minutes the % was still the same. I tried some online cpu benchmarks that were supposed to put pressure on the cpu at 100% (activity monitor showed something like that) and running one of them for around 5-6 minutes ate around 3% of battery. Keyboard is a change from my mbp 15, it will take some time to get used to it. The most amazing thing, and I was using it side by side with the mbp 15 (i9 16Gb) is the M1 one (8gb) is so much snappier in Safari and opening apps. It really brings the 'joy' of iphone with the snappiness that things just move/show. I still haven't tried a lot of Rosetta or non-arm stuff so no idea there.
