I use my M1 MBP for professional development, for which I have also been using my 2014 (5K) iMac.
The MBP is fine. Before it I had a top-of-the-line Intel MBP which was a detestable piece of shit because of its shameful keyboard. And of course Apple compounded the offense of the "butterfly" keyboard by depriving "pro" customers of an entire row of keys and replacing them with the embarrassing emoji bar. I HATED that computer, almost entirely because of the keyboard.
The newer (old-style) keyboard is merely OK, but it hasn't caused me to pound the shit out of the computer to the point where internal components started to protrude through the back cover. It still lacks a real Delete key, but that's just Apple being petulant babies.
The physical design does repeat an absurd blunder, though: The USB ports are, AGAIN, so needlessly close together that you can't use two adapters next to each other. WTF, Apple. WTF.
Performance-wise, I haven't stressed it too much but Rosetta seems to work admirably. The biggest issue is the unfeasibility of running Windows in Fusion on it, but I guess I'll just get a Windows computer at some point.

- NonNefarious 4y agoThe solid USB-C-to-A ones, for instance. I don't like those because they put too much stress on the jack, but I'm sure a lot of people use them. "You're posting too fast. Please slow down" THEN WHY IS THE REPLY BUTTON ENABLED, rude jerks? WTF?
