I honestly think it was all just hype, or some sort of FOMO of every reviewer not jumping on the M1 hype-train. I own a base Macbook Pro 14", 16GB RAM. If anything, it feels like less than 16GB (maybe because the shared video memory or macos bloat) saved by the fast SSD that's inevitably going to fail not too far and turn the laptop into e-waste. I feel like every single talk point of the early review cycle was a huge exaggeration: 1. battery life just browsing the web is no more than 4/5 hours. Like any other windows laptop. 2. Performance is really nothing special really. Things like maximizing/minimizing a youtube video are choppy and lag for 2/3 seconds. I mean, it's still the best value in the market for the screen, keyboard, chassis, speakers combo but Apple Silicon is extremely overrated.
