I would be pretty upset if this was my primary development machine. A lot of minor issues, but enough that I still rely on my older machine frequently. Definitely improving, but I'd give it a few more months. I'm not saying there aren't solutions to the issues I'm having, but there are enough small ones that it hasn't been worth the time to chase down each one.
Examples include:
- multiple monitor support
- Facetime issues
- Xcode cannot connect to my phone
- start up is fast, but wake-from-sleep is slow
- an ESC key is nice, but I would still like volume/mute buttons. Especially in COVID times where I am muting/unmuting even more than usual.
The positives are that it is very fast and battery life is great!
- derefr 6y ago> start up is fast, but wake-from-sleep is slow That’s surprising; “instant wake” is an advertised feature of the AS Macs. Are you actually referring to how long it takes to get back to the desktop from the Lock Screen? If so, do you perhaps have lots and lots of Chrome tabs open, more than fit in memory, such that some are hibernated; and do you frequently put your Mac to sleep, change its power state (plug/unplug), then wake it up again? If so, that’s Chrome blocking wake by attempting to wake up all the hibernated tabs to tell them the power state changed. I get that all the time on my 2016 MacBook.
- issa 6y agoIt's not Chrome. If I kill all programs and put my M1 and my 2017 intel to sleep... I can touch the finger print sensor on the M1, then touch the one on the Intel. The intel will be up and running while the M1 is still waking up. It's just a few seconds, but it's a noticeable.
