Yeah, I push mine hard and it barely uses battery. I never hear the fan (I'm on the M1 MBP 13) and it remains cool to the touch. I was skeptical about it until I noticed that it stayed this way for...basically 13 hours when pushing it really hard and nearly the 20 hours they advertise when using it for browsing/email/videos.
That convinced me for sure.
- gabereiser 6y agoYup, I've never experienced that before on any machine, Apple or otherwise. It's either you're tethered and burning your crotch or you're mobile and throttled. I haven't felt that yet with the M1 and my crotch stays cool.
- carlmr 6y agoI've been using Linux for a while, and I'm seriously considering jumping on the MBP M1 bandwagon. I'm mostly afraid of all the Apple lock-in otherwise i might have bought in to the M1 already.
- GeekyBear 6y agoThe bootloader is not locked. There is already a crowdfunded attempt to port Linux to M1 led by a guy who previously ported Linux to jailbroken PS4 hardware. https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/12/01/new-patreon-project-seeks-to-bring-linux-to-m1-macs https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/12/01/new-patreon-proje...
