M1 MBP arrived today. Love it. Weight wise it’s fine, however I’ll only be moving it around the house anyway. Only ever owned silver macs, so went Space grey this time round. I probably would have been fine with the MBA M2 screen, but this screen looks amazing. Need to test out some HDR content though.
Really pleased with my choice. Setting this up from new rather than use Time Machine backup, so that will take a bit of time. Besides as my Macbook 12 was having wifi connectivity issues my last complete backup was from a few months back. Anyway feels good to start afresh with my first Apple Silicon machine.
Only problem is that I’m now thinking of upgrading to a 4K external monitor![]()
FYI
Displaperture gives you rounded corners on the bottom
Top-Notch lets you black out the menubar to hide the notch if you want; I do it with almost white wallpapers, but other wise don't bother.
Lunar or Vivid let you access the 1000nit brightness if you think the screen is too dim for your room.
If you have a lot of menubar apps/icons, bartender lets you hide some and organize them
