Having swapped from my beloved 15” 2013 MBP to a slightly tarted up M1 14”, I have to say how impressed I’ve been with just about everything. Most of my work can be done from native Apple silicon apps which feel refreshingly snappy and result in just incredible battery life, and even when I’m running x86 apps in rosetta, it feels faster than my old i7 machine. The thing is still build like a tank, the screen is amazing, the speakers sound great when I use it for music in various hotel rooms, I really do love it as a tool. I was similarly impressed with the M2 air I’ve bought my partner. Its fast, weighs nothing, and feels really solid. The minor imperfections with the notch and such fade into the background when using it, same as they do on my pro. If I had any issues, its that running a Windows VM feels like a dodgy trick when I need to, as they still don’t license it legitimately. For Apple’s part, they seem to have made a very solid machine for people who just want a good computer to do work on. Of course, if you depend on Windows software, it’s not going to be for you, and I feel like the world lost its best windows laptop when bootcamp died, but thats only my opinion. I hope one day the Dells and HPs of the world can make machines that feel as solid as the Macs, but over the years I’ve always regretted buying XPSs and Omens because they just didn’t quite make the bar.
