As someone who used to despise Apple-- the M1 chip has been such a pleasure to use.
Completely silent, cold, and I haven't had any issues in my personal workflow.
- washadjeffmad 5y agoI ordered an M1 Max at launch at work and use an M1 Pro, and I've been so impressed with the M1 Air that I bought... a $150 Chromebook. It's complicated. My next mobile purchase (or build, I'm into cyberdecks lately) will have a different form factor display, like 4:3 or 3:2, and I hope Apple makes it. I really thought the Framework might be it until I used one, but it felt like they're only making laptops as an experiment in opex minimalism, and that they're planning to sell off as soon as they establish the value of the "overpriced semi-open eco-conscious DIY laptop" market. I've talked two people into buying M1 Airs and one M1 Mac Mini from Costco on sale. I haven't recommended anyone buy a Mac since 2014, but these things are fantastic.
- baq 5y agoyes, the M1 Air is the best laptop since... the original Air? it might be the best laptop in terms of value for price ever. I've never had a mac before, but this thing is objectively the best there is for the price.
