    torn between air and pro (regarding thermals)

    After the review embargo lifted, I watched tons of reviews, but I'm still torn. For context, I am a student in need of a new machine, and I will buy the M1 models. I do video editing sometimes, but probably nothing intensive. I barely game, so that factor isn't a deciding factor for me. Other...

    I have the MacBook Pro M1, 16GB RAM, 1TB SDD: ask me anything

    Fun fact: BootCamp Assistant is present, and according to System Report, it's a universal app (meaning Apple took the time to compile an ARM version of it...) Observations (to be updated as they come): Rosetta needs to be installed I have attached pictures of the new bootloader.

    I Will Be Choosing a M1 MacBook Pro

    My original plan was to wait until 2023 before I upgrade from my early 2015 MBP 13 inch. The fact is, I just can't wait that long for the type of Mac I wanted. Is it is a need or want? More of a want, since the current Mac I have works just fine. There is some excitement for this new...
