- The battery life is great.
- Something I wouldn't have thought is how much I enjoy that the machine is not heating up under stress. Difficult to describe, but that is really really nice
- I have the MBP and the only time I heard the fan was when I compiled the Rust toolchain.
- Tried to run Linux in Parallels but that didn't work (some sort of weird error, didn't investigate further)
- Within Xcode/Swift everything works as expected, just much faster ;)
- My M1 has problems when I'm connecting my external 5K display. It works great, but when I put the M1 to sleep and wake it up again it can't find the display anymore. Even plugging it in / out doesn't help. I read somewhere that that'll soon be fixed with a software update.
- I had higher hopes for the ability to run iOS apps. I really wanted Netflix and Amazon Alexa to work. I hope they'll reverse their stance to not support M1s at some point.
Overall, I'm very happy with the M1, but I still have a 2018 Mac mini that continues to be my main machine. I bought the M1 because I have an upcoming Mac app that I've worked on for ~2 years and I wanted to make sure it works on M1 (https://hyperdeck.io).
