"New thing not perfect!"

• rvz 5y ago
  Not moving at all and sitting on my existing Intel Macbook was the best decision ever. It "just works" fine. So waiting 6 months after purchase just to do your work or other things seems to be acceptable for some...

    Depends on what you do. On the other hand, the performance gains were massive enough for all Intel Macbooks to feel like quicksand and I just can’t imagine having to work with one. It’s like going back to HDD after having an SSD.

      > the performance gains were massive enough for all Intel Macbooks to feel like quicksand and I just can’t imagine having to work with one. It may depend on the user to some extent, but if I cannot run this iOS app because the developer told me so or an app that is not ported to Apple Silicon and doesn't work well in Rosetta then what is the point? What good is a system that indeed delivers on these performance gains but also doesn't run the software you need for more than 6 months after purchase? I'd rather wait with my 'already working MacBook' which runs fine, than to be part of the early adopted chaos club that went all in on the M1 and then complained for months about the SSD wearing issues themselves; only to say one benefit that 'It just runs faster!'
