Thank you! Even better news, the primary developer for the macOS ARM build recently posted a native alpha build via Twitter, so full support is hopefully not too far behind.
Got a tip for us?

So this was at 4K resolution?? If so that’s very impressive, especially as it’s running through Rosetta 2. Could you show the graphics settings page so I can compare the performance to my current?
It has nothing to do with entitlement so get your facts right. The OP's title of the thread say's '...ask me anything' so members have and what I noticed is that some members were asking genuine questions and they were being ignored. There was no, 'hi, thanks for your question, I will get back to it later' or anything like that. If a person makes a thread that requires input from the forum members then that person should manage it properly, the OP didn't so I called them out on it.
The OP responded to my post therefore hopefully things have improved.

Nah. You're in the wrong here.
You complained about the OP not responding quick enough only 3hrs 13mins after his first post offering help.
Lots of people asked questions, some needed considerable downloads. Add in that there are time zone differences (the OP has to eat / sleep) and it's just not fair to complain after such a short time.
Why don't you post something offering help to an entire forum with members worldwide and see how well you cope with the demand?
Hi Dean,
Many thanks for doing this post, awesome idea to test your new baby! 🙂
Can I ask, How is Excel and OneNote on this new M1 laptop?
Glitchy?
or exactly the same as the intel versions?
Your help is much appreciated 🤗
Regards
Martin

I am right, you are wrong. Also, stop trying to twist the facts to suit your narrative. I never complained about the OP not responding quick enough, you've just fashioned that idea out of thin air. Also, stop making up excuses to defend the OP, it's disgraceful.
The 'theme' or content of a thread will determine how that thread is maintained. A well maintained thread will have the OP constantly interacting with other posters to help keep the interest in the thread alive. The OP should also 'manage' the thread they make. Making sure that posts are kept on topic and that any infighting is prevented. If the OP see's posters breaking the rules of the thread or rules of the forum then the OP should report the rule breaches to the forum moderators. You do not just make a thread and then be done with it. Goes ask the forum admins about thread management and you will see they will agree with me.
Now with regards to the OP and the content and 'theme' of this thread. M1 machines have been hottly anticipated and thus any information about them is in high demand. The OP has an M1 and therefore should have known the strong demand for information about the machiine they have. As a result the OP should have anticipated the high demand in posters wanting to know about the machine and thus how rapidly questions would be posted. As such the OP should have been on hand to answer questions as and when they came in. If there was a question that could not be answered, the OP should have immediatly replied with 'Thank you for your question. I am not able to facilitate your request at the moment but I will try later on in the day'. The OP was doing a good job of interacting with some posters in the thread, responding to some question and returning with results to those questions BUT there was issues and errors with how the OP was managing the thread which I brought to the OP's attention. The OP responded to my post and as far as I am concerned the matter is closed.
To add my 2 cents. Got the MBP 16gb 1tb since yesterday. So far been managing to get my angular dev environment going pretty easily. Everything runs smoother, quicker, faster than anything I've seen so far. Some Rosetta Apps felt a bit sluggish at times but I think that's more than fine. Probably best battery I've ever had in a laptop. Any questions are obviously welcome 
I love these generous people who volunteer for tests. ❤️
My MBP M1 16Gb will arrive on Monday! But I am very concerned with the operation of the Office 365 suite, as I depend on it for my work. Could you tell me if it works without problem on the M1? I'm talking about Outlook, Powerpoint, Teams,... (I saw that you answered about Teams), etc. And my most critical one: Onedrive 🥵
Thanks so much!

I can answer my own question -
The apple dev website shows a screenshot of the Mac App Store, where you can search for an app and click to choose Mac Apps or iPhone and iPad apps.
There's also a process where developer can say if they've 'verified' it works well on Mac OS.
Link below:
Running your iOS apps in macOS | Apple Developer Documentation
Modernize the iOS apps you choose to run on a Mac with Apple silicon, or opt out of running on a Mac altogether.
Is there somewhere a list with all Apps which are already ARM implemented and all Apps running in iOS style? Cannot find something useful...I can answer my own question -

It’s probably easier to include it and have it do this than to exclude it, in terms of how Apple builds macOS and its deployment mechanisms.
Please test Safari browser performance on M1. It doesnt take a lot of time and efforts, just run test on Mozilla web site - https://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/ .
This is great to get confirmed - do you notice any excessive heating of the computer or performance degradation using Teams with a video call. The 2020 MacBook Air on Intel goes just crazy with fans and poor performance when using Teams...Teams works perfectly!
I haven't had a 8GB computers in nearly 10 years
