I can browse porn on my phone if I have to.
All reviews have said that this is still Gen 1 so next one will always be better but overall, they are amazing and if you just want a laptop, just get it.
p.s. It also seems the MBA is the pick of the bunch, it takes about 10mins for the fan in the MBP to kick in so unless you are constantly exporting 4k video, performance will be the same.
But the best thing i think is for an average user, a travel laptop or a day to day laptop, review says it works great, battery life is amazing. 20hrs is not a lie (with Apple criteria inc brightness etc).
I really want the MBA for travel, when travel is back on, I think that is the perfect laptop for that.
There is 1 downside, the part they said about you can run IOS apps, well you can but because iOS apps uses touch screen, you now have to adapt that with the touchpad so essentially they are crap and awkward to use. This is a massive opening for them to release a touchscreen MBA so this can be utilised but then they need to protect the ipad sales so I guess we will see.
I would like to see the base models have 500gb SSD's but most entry level premiums still scrimp on storage.
Also just seen a GPU comparison, the M1 is more capable that a GTX1050 TI, which has been great in the laptop I have, but does suffer from heat issues. If they can get consistent performance without a dedicated GPU and associated thermal throttling in a small case, that's a big breakthrough.
I can keep the performance in mine acceptable, but only with fans underneath and on top keeping the temperature stable.
performance and battery, it’s the holy grail and it’s Gen 1. I think this is a new breed of laptop, and the people who can afford the MBA, the casual users who doesn’t need a window machine, this will be amazing.
Edit, seeing these will be the worst Apple Silicon ever released, I’m pretty certain how I’m going to hold back getting a PC rig and wait for the iMac instead.
