I LOVE the colors - I almost want to get one just as a monitor but it's pretty small sized. same aw pretty reaction as their actual pro monitor until I saw the price not worth it for the video editing i do.

I personally see a good market fit for this. An example is my business partner, who doesn't do intense video rendering or compute, but has n joke 100s of tabs open and does other digital multi-tasking, streaming video & capture from web. Keeping open tens of FB power editor and other large sqlite and hunky react sites is a hit. M1 should be great for that some of that. Maybe some stuff in an ML accelerator might help with too but that sounds like mostly marketing?

Mostly it just looks really cool IMHO +M1 for chrome. Personally I love the style but seems like most comments so far don't.

The max 16 gigs ram limit is really bad though.

I really hope for an update for the large size MBPro I'd totally get a purple one, M1, with a TON of RAM and fast storage NVMe or whatever. I actually miss the 17 inch though my 16 is really nice literally 14 hours a day for a couple years workhorse. If they can get a skinny bump like the iMac that'd be amazing so long as lap heat isn't a problem seems the limit is the power plug.
