> Because we the devs & admins know the nature of the beast, I would not lump all devs under 1 group. While the technological aspects of M1 are impressive, the compatibility issues and Apple "being Apple" for lack of a better word are significant enough for some of us to steer clear away. My work issued MBP just doesn't recognize the external display 80% of the time without me having to plug and replug it or usbc hub back in, and the fact that its an issue is simply unnacceptable when my 5 year old Dell, running Linux, has no issues. Especially for the devs that use desktops on a regular basis, as the speed that you talk of is something that we have had for the past 3-4 years.

TBH, didn't try to port my scientific applications on M1 though (most of the time, they run on Linux servers, so no rush). > Especially for the devs that use desktops on a regular basis... In fact, I'm a desktop first user. Using M1 daily, since we're WFH. Maybe you can be this responsive on a desktop, but I'm talking on the mobile space. If we take out form factor considerations, I can get the same speed and responsiveness from 6-7 year old servers we use at the office.
