BTW did you ask if he can already access/run iOS/iPadOS apps?
Wondering if this needs to be turned on yet by Apple, or is working out the box already.
Got a tip for us?

For comparison I have a Surface Pro 7 i7 16GB RAM. The my Multi-Core R23 is: 3835, single core is: 1101
This is a really impressive for the M1 and also have so much better battery. 2x the multi and ~30% more single than a 10th gen Core i7

I don't believe RAM quantity should affect the score much. @never_released is claiming that 11.0.1 adds a 100MHz overclock to the chips, though I don't know that that would affect scores all that much.
Single core, from same person:
Edit: Only 11th gen Intel i7 is above it.

Which would be a total surprise if it was : an entry level machine that is faster?
I'd love to know the per-core and package power draw for each of those tests. That score at 15w versus that score at 25w makes a large difference in terms of how it compares with the AMD and Intel chips.
I think Apple refers to a variety of benchmarks and applications. And geekbench shows that the M1 core is the clear winner, much faster than Tiger Lake in single core. Not so in cinebench.
As for that tweet on battery life... Of course it's less than what Apple said. Their estimates do not covered indexing + benchmarking, but web browsing and video playback.
Yes, but wouldn't M1 benefit from even higher clock speeds? Or is there some physical limitation that makes that impossible?
I’m not defending Apple here but surely if he’s runnning benchmarks and downloading apps etc the battery life goes out the window ?
For reference, here's a quite comprehensive list of Cinebench R23 results: https://www.computerbase.de/2020-11/cinebench-r23-community-benchmarks/
M1 multicore seems to be in line with Ryzen 15W results, maybe 10-15% faster. Single core is more impressive with ~25% lead.
Seems plausible regarding the manufacturing processes and more realistic for general CPU performance than Apple's performance claims.

Apple's CPU architecture is very wide, which generally limits clock speeds. No one but Apple knows the exact limit, but it surely won't clock as high as modern AMD or Intel CPUs.
Doesn't say anything about performance obviously.
