MacBook Air M1 has arrived :)

[SpitUK]

She was very snappy on setup and this is the base spec. All feels good so far

And I'm out here waiting for the 25th of November to get my beauty.

Enjoy your machine

Just updating to 11.01. Can confirm that general web browsing feels very fast and snappy, excited!

So the new Macs do indeed make Safari more snappy?

Could you test how it works via Thunderbolt 3 external monitor if you have one? A YouTuber who showed it none of the M1 Macs were able to work via Thunderbolt 3 without serious jitters/lag

I have a HDMI to USB C lead, I can feed that to my 4K screen?

Thanks for that. The MBA and MBP look smooth. Don't know whats happening with the mac mini DP

yes pls try

 

[SpitUK]

Will do, it is just updating to 11.01.

 

[SpitUK]

It is barely warm during the update.

 

[Ramsi89]

Could you install chrome and check if this works smooth as well?

 

[adrianlondon]

Could you install something to make it slow and crap, so my intel 2020 Air doesn't get jealous?

 

[Kung gu]

hows the external display? @SpitUK

 

[SpitUK]

See you in 20 mins after running Cinebench lol. 11.01 installed.

That should work regardless, the problem seems to be specifically USB C to USB C (Thunderbolt 3)
That YouTuber managed to get it working via HDMI, but I’m curious as to why it doesn’t work via Thunderbolt

You must have skimmed through that part because the MacBooks had the same problem, none of them worked via Thunderbolt, but they all worked when he switched to HDMI

 

[Willoh]

Can you please test multitouch on iOS apps? Are there macros?

could a driver issue with that specific monitor. Apple said it would work on the XDR monitor and thats TB3 as well

Mine just arrived as well. It surprised me that it switched on by itself as I lifted the lid (coming from a 2011 MB, maybe thats normal, idk). Unfortunately I have to work for the rest of the day

Yeah, I didn't like that at first but I've gotten used to it.

Also, until Big Sur, a short press of the power button did nothing once the laptop was on, but now it locks the screen. Much better.

That's just not right!!

I'm pretty certain your starting to feel ill and need to take the rest of the day off?? If needs be, I can pretend to be your mum and write you a sick note!! 😂😂
