It’s been great.
All my tooling just works fine no issues now with M1 compatibility.
Battery is amazing.
Speakers sound clear and loud.
Light gaming with steam works really well.
I use plenty of standard tools, iterm2 as my terminal, emacs, org-mode, vscode, pycharm. All working as intended.
I have had modern pcs and laptops and they work equally well just not as fast.
The 2021mbp is like being in the future.
From an OSX POV I went from a 2012mbp to a 2021mbp and it’s night and day.

I don’t like how it feels always-on, if I hit shutdown and close the lid, when I open the lid up it comes back on immediately instead of me having to press the power button. I want a clearer distinction of on/off.
- Jtsummers 5y agoOther than having to unlock it, my 2017 MBP does the same with respect to turning on when I open it. For me, that's a feature. It makes using it, closing it, writing, opening it to type or read something, and putting it away again frictionless (other than unlocking). That's both a pro and a con. As a pro, it makes it easier to put it away (I don't leave it open just to avoid the friction of bringing it back up). As a con, it encourages reaching for it once it's put away (because there's no friction). Net, though, it's better for me as I spend less time on the computer total unless I'm doing things that need to be done on the computer (still browse HN too much, though).
