Love the new possibilities these new chips bring, but.....capped at 16GB, and only 2 ports on the laptops? Would have hoped for at least 32GB and keeping the 4 ports on the MBP.

The old Intel models are still for sale, handy if you need Boot Camp/Windows support (like me) and higher RAM capacity. Shame they didn't lower the price of the outgoing models or update the 16" to 10th-gen Intel CPUs. *sigh*
 
My god what a boring event for being Mac, lots of bla bla, a massive opportunity to deliver fully redesigned macs with truly bumped hardware. Same old Apple tricks with Timmy over and over.
Why, were you expecting two leaps in a year? Next year a redesign is expected across the lineup.
 
I wonder if performance will be consistent across the lineup since they all use the same M1 chip, or if the MacBook Pro will have slightly better performance than the Air.

I originally wanted an iMac for my next Mac, but this makes upgrading my 2012 15” rMBP to a MacBook Air or a 13” MacBook Pro a more serious consideration.

it’s got fans of course it’ll be better
 
As predicted, they iOS compatibility will allow them to claim "MILLIONS OF APPS" when most of the stuff available will be (at best) scaled-up mobile software.

There are different GPU core counts. So there are variations of the M1.
 
Still only 8GB ram as default :( I'm seriously wondering, with todays insane SSD speeds, if I should just stop getting more ram. Maybe it's barely noticable nowadays?
