I am so tempted. Don't click buy. Don't click buy. I have a 2017 MBP with 16GB, it still runs ok, but the fan goes off and it's starting to feel a little laggy. I wonder what a souped up maxed out pro version can do.

As the first Macs containing Apple Silicon processors began arriving to customers today, reviewers have shared their first impressions of the new...

Apple's M1 proves that ARM can compete with x86 in high-end systems.

To acknowledge how good the new M1 Macs are — and I am here to tell you they are *astonishingly* good — you must acknowledge that certain longstanding assumptions about how computers should be designed...

The base versions still have 2 ports though. I guess that’s to be expected. It would have been nice if more. Also 16GB max memory.

Read Gruber’s review. The S1 needs less RAM, just like iPhones over Android, because of a few things (but mostly how Macs and iPhones handle object retention).

Thanks. That had a lot of detailed information in there many of the main media outlets did not mention and good links. I haven't been keeping up with Apple news, but this is a huge deal, but because it's not "flashy" maybe the run up to it was more muted? I dunno, maybe there was a lot written and I missed it.

Real world experience with the new M1 Macs have started ticking in. They are fast. Real fast. But why? What is the magic?
