I think we really need a break from people submitting more M1 Mac unboxing articles, unless there's significant original technical content. This is turning into fanboyism.
- dagaci 6y agoThey probably have a quota to fill. Apple spending an ocean of cash on pushing this project.
- dang 6y agoPlease review the site guidelines—they ask you not to post like this. If you have evidence, or are worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look into it.
- kowlo 6y agoAre you implying the OP or HN itself are promoting the M1 line for $?
- DennisAleynikov 6y agobeyond ridiculous conspiracy, apple just took the ARM pill finally and release a "real os" running on arm and every closeted anti-ipad and anti-chromeos user finally breathed a sigh of relief that "real computers" can be good again, finally

- bouk 6y agoIt's just... really good. It's an uncanny feeling that many haven't had for a while
- DennisAleynikov 6y agoits really not... I would advise you to try something outside of apple once the m1 dies on ya (in like a decade)
- messe 6y ago> its really not... How so?
- DennisAleynikov 6y agoany chromebook will show you roughly what I mean. the approach with running ios apps with catalyst, safari being faster than on ANY intel device, and most guides recommending you use webapps thats mostly what I mean. people have had a repulsion to chromebooks or even windows 10 S but apple did not do much more than just that. the praise isnt coming for how amazingly working in production through rosetta is
- Hamuko 6y ago>any chromebook will show you roughly what I mean. Where does a Chromebook come into this?
- DennisAleynikov 6y agowhat macos big sur essentially is: chrome first (safari) play store apps (catalyst for ios apps) linux apps (unix apps homebrew) a lot of folks arent familiar with how identical these software stacks have become over the last few years. especially with apples quality control dropping so steeply to allowing Catalyst apps to be something they mention on stage despite their sorry state as somehow more broken than android apps on chromeos
- mkl 6y agoThe excitement about the M1 computers is not about the software, but about the new CPU design, which is faster than any other laptop processor by most measures I've seen. Chromebooks have no equivalent.
- JoshTko 6y agoThe voting system reflects HN sentiment, which generally isn't particularly pro Apple, so the implication is that M1 is quite special.

- smoldesu 6y agoI wholeheartedly agree.
- Apocryphon 6y agoThis article was somewhat substantiative from a technical (hacker) dev setup point of view, but also a little scanty. Homebrew, Go, and Parallels use on Apple Silicon have all been brought up before. I do agree that there's enough articles covering the same review feedback. The M1 machines seem to be universally lauded, there's plenty of buzz out there, I'm not sure what the downside is there besides certain software not being able to run on them yet. Personally I'm willing to wait a year to see what the second gen machines will look like, but that's based on my own preferences and curiosity.
- enos_feedler 6y agoFor me, getting strong signal on the consumer sentiment of new Apple products helps me make trading decisions and is super useful. I welcome this content, fanboy or not. How are these submissions impacting you negatively?
- splintercell 6y agoAnd lets not forget, HN egged the function key row elimination a lot (rightfully so).
