Even if we can not use the M1 Macs for our work anymore (we need Windows X86 comaptibility) - I will test it and use it at home.

I did the same. I need X86 for various applications, but I bought a base Air with upgraded ram for home/personal use.
 
What I would hope for is that some MacMini owner runs GeekBench, but not once, but ten times in a row - to see if the Mac gets hot and has to slow down.

And then tell us how long the battery lasts when you do that :)
 
Dawn of a new era. Very exciting. And after years of neglict, it’s nice to see Apple taking the Mac seriously again. (The tell has been it’s the only product they have to say how much they love it, how they really, really love it, every single time it’s mentioned in a keynote.

Now please dump the Touchbar. It was a bad idea at conception, and has not gotten better. Innovators learn from their errors, so should Apple.
 
It would be really fun to have one of these to test out, but I'm not going to shell out to be a guinea pig for the next year! I'll gladly wait. Seems promising, though, especially if these are the lower-end configs only. My biggest gripe is the RAM but I think they'll address that later.
My thoughts as well.
When Apple moved to Intel people were excited to get the Core Duo only to see it replaced with the Core2Duo 5 months later with faster speeds and higher RAM.

My understanding is they neglect it because of several reason, for instance, they were preoccupied with building the spaceship, Joni not interested in his job anymore amongst other reasons.

Still waiting on my HomePod Mini. I know, totally wrong thread. But just watched Crew1 demo and there's really nothing to be mad about! I hope y'all enjoy y'alls M1 Macs. I'm holding out for a 16" =D

I keep checking to see if my 16/256 mini ETA has moved up, but nope, holding steady at 12/11. 😫🤞
 
Ordered the base model MBA immediately after the event (I'm in US). The order page still looks like this... Wonder what criteria Apple used to discriminate some customers against other "lucky" guys. :mad:
